MINOR
The bill was amended to exempt small towns with populations under 5,000 from certain housing reporting requirements and to clarify how the department should handle submission formats for local boards. These changes reduce the administrative burden on smaller municipalities while maintaining oversight in larger communities.
Scope change
The bill now excludes local boards in towns with populations under 5,000 people from the zoning map reporting requirement.
ELIGIBILITY
Added an exemption for local boards in towns with populations of less than 5,000 people from the requirement to submit zoning maps.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new provision requiring the department to consult with the division of housing and community renewal when determining submission formats, and to offer localities the option to use the same format as other related programs.
Updated the list of information that must be made publicly available on the department's website to include submissions from subdivisions two, three, four, and five.
