MODERATE

The bill was amended to add a new co-sponsor, clarify that the program applies only to properties within urban growth boundaries or rural residential zones, and update the text to reflect that the tax exemption provision is now included in the final version. These changes narrow the program's scope to specific geographic areas while maintaining the core grant structure for creating rental auxiliary dwellings.

Scope change

The program's geographic scope was narrowed to apply only to properties located within an urban growth boundary or an area zoned for rural residential use, rather than countywide.

SCOPE

Added requirement that auxiliary dwelling units must be located within an urban growth boundary or an area zoned for rural residential use.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a verification requirement that the single-family dwelling must be located within an urban growth boundary or rural residential zone as part of owner eligibility criteria.

TECHNICAL

Added Senate Amendments dated April 4 and updated sponsorship to include Senator SMITH DB as a co-sponsor.

Removed the phrase 'Interior' from the description of auxiliary dwelling units in the summary and main text.
