Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed two bills that make accessory dwelling units, known as ADUs, and junior accessory dwelling units, or JADUs, easier to build and manage.
The first bill, SB 9 by Sen. Jesse Arreguin, D-Berkeley, invalidates any ADU ordinance if the local agency that adopts the ordinance fails to submit a copy to the state Department of Housing and Community Development to ensure compliance with state standards.
