AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of a "single-family residence" under the First-Time Home Buyer Savings Plan Act to include townhouses, making them eligible for the program. It also significantly increases the financial limits associated with these savings accounts: the maximum amount of principal that can be contributed to an account by an account holder is raised from $50,000 to $100,000, and the total amount of principal, along with any interest or other income earned on that principal, that can be held in the account is increased from $150,000 to $200,000. These changes aim to provide more substantial financial assistance to first-time homebuyers in Virginia.
