AI Summary

This bill establishes the "Guaranteed Rental Payment Pilot Program" within the State Rental Assistance Program to study the relationship between a tenant's credit rating and their performance under a lease, including making required rental payments. The pilot program will select 1,000 low- or moderate-income households participating in the State Rental Assistance Program or the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, and the program will guarantee payment to landlords in the event of a tenant's lease violation. The bill appropriates $10 million to the "Guaranteed Rental Payment Fund" to cover these payments, and requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to submit a report on the program's performance after 18 months.
