AN ACT PERMITTING A MUNICIPALITY TO DETERMINE THE PERCENTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED IN SUCH MUNICIPALITY TO QUALIFY FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE.

SB 752 allows municipalities to set their own required percentage of affordable housing units for new developments to qualify for exemption from the state's affordable housing appeals process. This bill directly affects local governments (municipalities) and developers building new housing projects, as it replaces a fixed statewide requirement with a locally determined threshold. The key mechanism changes the statute to permit each municipality to establish its own percentage target for deed-restricted affordable housing units. If a development meets this locally set percentage, it avoids the state's appeals procedure for affordable housing requirements. The bill does not mandate a specific percentage but gives communities flexibility to tailor the requirement to local needs.
