85R10935 JAM-D By: Dutton H.B. No. 2261 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to the amendment of an application for an allocation of low income housing tax credits. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Section 2306.6708(a), Government Code, is amended to read as follows: (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), an applicant may not change or supplement an application in any manner after the filing deadline, including a change or supplement related to the financial feasibility of the development as established for purposes of the department's evaluation under Section 2306.6710(b)(1)(A). SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only to an application for low income housing tax credits that is submitted to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs during an application cycle that is based on the 2018 qualified allocation plan or a subsequent plan adopted by the governing board of the department. An application that is submitted during 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. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
