    c.  (1)  A Except as provided in subparagraph (2), a housing
 business shall complete its housing project within three
 years from the date the housing project is registered by the
 authority.
    (2)  The authority may for good cause within the discretion
 of the authority extend a housing project's completion

 the housing business, which application shall be made prior
 to the expiration of the three=year completion deadline in
 subparagraph (1) in the manner and form prescribed by the
 authority.
    Sec. 2.  EXTENSION APPLICATIONS MADE PRIOR TO AUGUST 1,

 "c", subparagraph (2), as enacted in this Act, which requires
 that a housing business make a housing project completion
 deadline extension application prior to the expiration of the
 housing project's three=year completion deadline, a written
 request by a housing business to extend a housing project's
 completion deadline shall be considered a timely application
 under section 15.354, subsection 3, paragraph "c", subparagraph
 (2), if the written request is received by the economic
 development authority prior to August 1, 2018, and if the
 housing business provides any additional information requested
 by the economic development authority.
    Sec. 3.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to housing projects
