AI Summary

This bill establishes a "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. The program will select 1,000 low- or moderate-income households who have completed a housing and credit counseling program, and it will guarantee to the landlord that the program will pay for any defaults on lease payments by the participants. The bill appropriates $10 million to a "Guaranteed Rental Payment Fund" to cover these payments, and it requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to submit a report on the program's findings after 18 months of operation.
