Illinois HB3552 regulates local accessory dwelling units, prohibiting local governments from banning them and limiting their regulation.
HB3552, the Local Accessory Dwelling Unit Act, mandates that local governments cannot prohibit the construction or use of accessory dwelling units. It allows local governments to impose reasonable regulations on the size and location of these units but prohibits them from denying permits based on nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not threaten public health and safety. The bill also limits home rule powers, ensuring that local regulations do not have the effect of prohibiting accessory dwelling units.
