Michigan HB6083 prohibits local governments from restricting non-fire rated windows in accessory dwelling units over 12 feet from other structures.

Michigan HB6083 amends the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act to ensure that zoning ordinances do not restrict the use of non-fire rated windows in accessory dwelling units if those windows are more than 12 feet from any other structures. An accessory dwelling unit is defined as a secondary dwelling unit, whether constructed on-site or off-site, that is incidental to another dwelling unit on the same property. A non-fire rated window is defined as one that has not been tested, certified, or rated by an independent laboratory to withstand fire exposure for a specific duration.
