Bill Summary
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the qualified contract exception to the extended low-income housing commitment rules for purposes of the low-income housing credit, and for other purposes. This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the low-income housing tax credit, to repeal the qualified contract option for a building that received its allocation of housing credit dollar amount before January 1, 2019, or received before that date, a determination from the bond issuer or housing credit agency of its eligibility to receive an allocation of a housing credit dollar amount. Under current law, properties subject to the low-income housing tax credit are subject to a 30-year affordability period, during which the value of properties is set at a below market rate. The qualified contract option allows property owners, in some cases, to convert to market rate after 15 years.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to repeal the "qualified contract" exception to the extended low-income housing commitment rules for the low-income housing tax credit. Under current law, properties subject to the low-income housing tax credit are required to maintain affordable rents for a 30-year period. The qualified contract option allows property owners, in some cases, to convert to market-rate rents after 15 years. This bill removes that option for buildings that received their tax credit allocations before January 1, 2019, or received a determination of eligibility for an allocation before that date. This change is intended to preserve affordable housing that was developed with the low-income housing tax credit.
