What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits political subdivisions from regulating the amount of rent

or fees charged for residential rental property and from imposing inclusionary

zoning requirements. Inclusionary zoning requirements are requirements that

prescribe “that a certain number or percentage of new or existing residential

dwelling units in a land development be made available for rent or sale to an

individual or family with a family income at or below a certain percentage of the

median income.” This bill eliminates these prohibitions.

Because this bill may increase or decrease, directly or indirectly, the cost of the

development, construction, financing, purchasing, sale, ownership, or availability of

housing in this state, the Department of Administration, as required by law, will

prepare a report to be printed as an appendix to this bill.
