A. If a municipality has a zoning ordinance that restricts the distance between sober living homes or that enacts building or fire code requirements for the operation of sober living homes, the municipality shall establish a procedure by which a deviation from the requirement may be granted as a reasonable accommodation under the fair housing act (P.L. 90-284; 82 Stat. 81; 42 United States Code section 3604).
B. A municipality may not reclassify a single-family home under a local building or fire code solely because the single-family home is the subject of a license application for a sober living home.
