Abstract
(HB6083 · 103rd Legislature) Land use: zoning and growth management; non-fire rated windows on accessory dwelling units; prohibit local governments from restricting. Amends 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3101 - 125.3702) by adding sec. 205c. Latest action (2026-06-17): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/16/2026
Why this matters
This bill continues a pattern of state-level preemption narrowing local zoning authority to reduce barriers to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction, potentially lowering build costs for homeowners and small developers. For local governments, it removes a specific tool for regulating ADU window specifications; for builders and property owners, it standardizes what municipalities can require. It pairs with HB6082 (ADU frost protection) as part of an incremental ADU-enabling package.
