This bill amends California law to clarify the rules surrounding junior accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Specifically, it removes the requirement that the homeowner of a single-family residence must also live in the home if the ADU shares sanitation facilities. Additionally, the bill mandates that any rental of a junior ADU must be for a term longer than 30 days. Local governments will need to update their ordinances to reflect these changes.
