|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter DD, Chapter 2306, Government Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Section 2306.6741 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 2306.6741. SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS REQUIRED. A |
|
|
development that has received an allocation of low income housing |
|
|
tax credits under this subchapter must install and maintain |
|
|
operable exterior surveillance cameras at appropriate locations |
|
|
throughout the development. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 2306.6741, Government Code, as added by |
|
|
this Act, applies only to a development that receives an allocation |
|
|
of low income housing tax credits from an application cycle that is |
|
|
based on the 2026 qualified allocation plan or a subsequent plan |
|
|
adopted by the governing board of the Texas Department of Housing |
|
|
and Community Affairs. A development that receives an allocation |
|
|
of low income housing tax credits from an application cycle that is |
|
|
based on an earlier qualified allocation plan is governed by the law |
|
|
in effect on the date the application cycle began, and the former |
|
|
law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
