Subjects certain rooming and boarding houses to municipal land use regulations; requires owners and operators of cooperative sober living residences to submit certain approvals with license applications.
This bill requires certain rooming and boarding houses to comply with local land use regulations, ending an exemption that previously prevented municipal oversight of such facilities. It specifically mandates that owners of cooperative sober living residences submit written approvals from local zoning, fire, health, and building authorities when applying for a state Class F license. These approvals are required for the state to issue or renew the license, ensuring facilities meet local safety and zoning standards before operation. The bill amends the Rooming and Boarding House Act of 1979 to implement these changes.
