      Amend CSHB 1 No. 1 in Article VII, under the appropriations
to the Department of Housing and Community Affairs, on page VII-14,
by striking Rider 12 and substituting the following:
      12.  LIMITATION ON EXPENDITURE.  Under Strategy A.1.4.,
Federal Tax Credits, no funds shall be used for processing or
approving applications for allocations unless legislation is
enacted by the 75th Legislature at its regular session containing
the following:
      (1)  All representations made by an applicant for an
allocation are enforceable by the department, including enforcement
by administrative penalties for failure to perform as stated in the
representations and enforcement by inclusion in deed restrictions
to which the department is a party.
      (2)  The department shall inspect all construction for
quality during the construction process while defects can
reasonably be corrected.
      (3)  A general contractor hired by an applicant, or an
applicant if the applicant serves as general contractor, must
demonstrate a history of constructing similar types of housing
without the use of federal tax credits.
      (4)  The department shall give notice of a proposed project
to the state representative and senator representing the area where
a project would be located.  The department shall hold a community
meeting, if the state representative or senator so requests, before
an application is approved.
      (5)  The department shall allocate credits among as many
different entities as practicable without diminishing the quality
of the housing that is built.
