A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to a compliance history assessment made for purposes of |
|
allocating certain financial assistance administered by the Texas |
|
Department of Housing and Community Affairs. |
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Section 2306.057, Government Code, is amended by |
|
amending Subsection (c) and adding Subsection (e) to read as |
|
follows: |
|
(c) The board shall fully document and disclose any |
|
instances in which the board approves a project application despite |
|
any noncompliance associated with the project, applicant, or |
|
affiliate that is reported by the department under Subsection |
|
(a)(2). |
|
(e) For a project application seeking financial assistance |
|
administered through the department's multifamily housing |
|
programs, the department may not include in the report provided |
|
under Subsection (a)(2) any instance of noncompliance associated |
|
with a project of the applicant or affiliate of the applicant if the |
|
applicant or affiliate has submitted documentation, in a format |
|
acceptable to the department, demonstrating that the |
|
responsibility for project compliance was delegated to another |
|
participant in the project, including, if applicable, a related |
|
party as defined by Section 2306.6702. |
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act in amending |
|
Section 2306.057, Government Code, applies only to an application |
|

|

|
department before January 1, 2022, is governed by the law in effect |
|
immediately before the effective date of this Act, and the former |
|
law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
