AN ACT REQUIRING AS OF RIGHT ACCESSORY COMMERCIAL UNITS.

HB 6427 requires municipalities to designate specific areas where accessory commercial units (small commercial structures on residential properties, like home-based shops) can be built without needing special permits. Municipalities must update their zoning codes to allow these units as a standard use in designated zones. The bill directly affects local governments, which must create these designations, and property owners seeking to establish small commercial operations. This policy change makes accessory commercial units permitted by default in designated areas, removing the need for additional approvals.
