AI Summary

This bill directs the Department of Housing and Community Development to promulgate regulations starting in 2023 that require any new construction or major rehabilitation development project receiving Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding to earn green building certification. This certification must meet standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system or other equally rigorous systems determined by the Department, in consultation with the Department of Energy Resources. The Department is also directed to amend its Qualified Allocation Plan to reflect these requirements and to analyze and publicly share post-occupancy data on the energy and water efficiency of LIHTC-funded housing, as well as provide information to potential LIHTC applicants about available incentives and support for energy efficiency.
