  • Allows municipalities and counties to establish narrowly tailored regulations protecting public health and safety (fire codes, building codes, traffic control, pollution, noise) and ensuring business compatibility with residential use and secondary to residential purposes.

  • Prohibits municipalities and counties from requiring rezoning, home-based business licenses, or fire sprinkler installation in single-family or duplex dwellings as conditions of operating a home-based business.
