Research notes
HB 462 establishes First Home Investment Zones — locally-designated districts where state incentives and preemptions apply to promote owner-occupied attainable housing. Requires 60% of units be attainable owner-occupied to unlock ministerial approval. Federal conflict check flagged because zones near Hill AFB must reconcile with AICUZ.
