AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- ZONING ORDINANCES

SB 2575 establishes new guidelines for local governments in towns and cities regarding how they can restrict residential recovery houses. These facilities are housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders. The bill allows municipalities to place specific limitations on where these houses can be located, aiming to balance community concerns with the needs of residents in recovery. By setting clear rules for zoning ordinances, the legislation provides a framework for cities to regulate the placement of such housing without banning it entirely.
