Protecting Disabled Citizen Choice in Residential Access Act; enact.
SB 2757, the "Protecting Disabled Citizen Choice in Residential Access Act," ensures people with disabilities can live in single-family neighborhoods by requiring counties and municipalities to allow supervised living services homes (for up to four people with disabilities) in any area where single-family homes are permitted. The bill prohibits local zoning rules from banning these homes or applying stricter regulations than those for standard single-family dwellings, while mandating that such homes be certified by Mississippi's Department of Mental Health. It also sets placement criteria, requiring Department evaluation for suitability and excluding individuals in community corrections, on felony parole, or in state mental institutions under specific circumstances. This law directly affects people with disabilities seeking housing, local governments with zoning authority, and certified providers of supervised residential services.
