Relative to modifying the definition of ADUs.

HB577 aims to change how ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are defined. This bill, which has now become law, will impact homeowners, renters, and local governments by making it easier to build or modify these smaller units, often referred to as "granny flats" or "in-law units." These changes can help increase housing availability and options, especially in areas where space is limited.

This bill was introduced in January 2025 and went through several stages including committee reviews, amendments, and final approvals in both the House and Senate. It was signed into law by the Governor on July 15, 2025, and officially became law on July 22, 2025.

Key actions include the introduction of the bill, committee reviews, and adoption of amendments. It passed both the House and Senate without major changes, showing strong bipartisan support. The final step was the Governor's signature, making the bill effective from July 1, 2025.
