AI Summary
This bill defines the jurisdiction of local housing authorities for the implementation of rental assistance programs. The bill states that a housing authority's jurisdiction to provide housing for low-income families, elderly, and disabled individuals is limited to the city or town where the housing authority is created, unless there is an agreement with another city or town's housing authority or local government to provide housing in that area. For the federal Section 8 leased housing program, a housing authority's jurisdiction is also limited to the city or town where it was created, unless there is an agreement with another housing authority or local government to administer the program in that other area, and such agreement cannot be unreasonably withheld.
