Bill Caption

Relating to the evaluation of applications for certain financial assistance administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Under current law, it is incumbent upon the developer of a housing project to submit an application for housing tax credits.

SB 545 would amend Government Code to require the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to provide documentation that includes the application for a housing tax credit. Applications in this process would be grouped in a scoring system and also include the financial plans for the project.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 545 because it does not affect our liberty principles. This bill is procedural in nature, so we remain neutral.
