Governor Hassan's Statement on Signing Bipartisan Bill on Accessory Dwelling Units

Statement

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement after signing today Senate Bill 146, relative to accessory dwelling units:

"We must always be working to increase safe, affordable housing options so that all people can live independently and engage in their communities, empowering them to contribute to our economic and civic life. By requiring municipalities to allow one attached accessory dwelling unit to single-family homes in zones that allow those homes and establishing other important requirements for local regulation of these units, this bipartisan bill will help increase affordable housing options, helping to meet workforce demands and allowing more of our older citizens to live independently in their communities. I thank members from both parties in both chambers for their efforts on this legislation, and I am proud to sign this important bill to increase safe and affordable housing options into law."
