AN ACT CONCERNING HOUSING AUTHORITIES.
As Amended by House "A" (LCO 7529)
House Calendar No.: 159

OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill establishes an annual auditing requirement for housing
authorities and expands the information that housing authorities must
provide to tenants.
This has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. Local
housing authorities are quasi-government agencies that are created by
municipalities. Housing authorities are not financially dependent on
the municipalities that create them, nor are those municipalities
required to financially support them.
House "A" 1) eliminates the underlying bill's provision requiring
housing authority employees to submit to background checks, 2)
expands the information housing authorities must provide to tenants,
and 3) makes a technical change. These changes result in the above
identified fiscal impact.
