The bill would require certain recipients of Community Development Block Grant funding to submit a plan at least once every five years describing specific land-use policies. The plan must say whether each policy has been adopted, whether the recipient plans to adopt it, and how it could benefit the area. Policies include allowing more types of homes, reducing parking or lot-size rules, and streamlining permits. The requirement would begin one year after enactment. Submitting a plan would not require a recipient to adopt the policies, and the information could not be used as the basis for enforcement.
Local governments and other eligible grant recipients would need to prepare and submit the required plan to receive certain grants. The bill does not require them to adopt the listed policies. It does not specify direct changes for individual residents.
