Methodology The bill requires the department to issue final commitment for an allocation of housing tax credits no later than 90 days after the date a development owner submits to the department the Form 8609 documentation packet. Due to the shortened time frame for issuing final commitment, this estimate assumes that the agency would require three additional Asset Managers positions ($71,050 per year per FTE with estimated benefits of $21,231 per FTE). Also included in the estimate are onetime startup technology costs of $7,500 and annual costs of $4,500 for general supplies. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
