Bill Summary · HB 6352

Overview: HB 6352, AN ACT INCLUDING IN THE CALCULATION OF THE THRESHOLD FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE ANY PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED ON A PUBLIC DRINKING WATERSHED OR AN AQUIFER PROTECTION AREA, was referred to the Joint Committee on Housing. It was introduced on January 23, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to modify the calculation of the affordable housing exemption threshold to include properties located on public drinking watersheds or aquifer protection areas.

Key Provisions:
- Requires that any property located on a public drinking watershed or aquifer protection area be included in the calculation of the 10% threshold for a municipality to be exempt from the affordable housing appeals procedure
- This would make it more difficult for municipalities with such properties to reach the 10% threshold and gain exemption from the appeals procedure

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Municipalities with properties on public drinking watersheds or aquifer protection areas would face greater challenges in meeting the affordable housing exemption threshold
- Developers of affordable housing projects in these municipalities could have a harder time obtaining approvals

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been referred to the Joint Committee on Housing and is currently awaiting further legislative action.
