relating to a compliance history assessment made for purposes of | ||
allocating certain financial assistance administered by the Texas | ||
Department of Housing and Community Affairs. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 2306.057, Government Code, is amended by | ||
amending Subsection (c) and adding Subsection (e) to read as | ||
follows: | ||
(c) The board shall fully document and disclose any | ||
instances in which the board approves a project application despite | ||
any noncompliance associated with the project, applicant, or | ||
affiliate that is reported by the department under Subsection | ||
(a)(2). | ||
(e) For a project application seeking financial assistance | ||
administered through the department's multifamily housing | ||
programs, the department may not include in the report provided | ||
under Subsection (a)(2) any instance of noncompliance associated | ||
with a project of the applicant or affiliate of the applicant if the | ||
applicant or affiliate has submitted documentation, in a format | ||
acceptable to the department, demonstrating that the | ||
responsibility for project compliance was delegated to another | ||
participant in the project, including, if applicable, a related | ||
party as defined by Section 2306.6702. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act in amending | ||
Section 2306.057, Government Code, applies only to an application | ||
for financial assistance that is submitted to the Texas Department | ||
of Housing and Community Affairs on or after January 1, 2022. An | ||
application for financial assistance that is submitted to the | ||
department before January 1, 2022, is governed by the law in effect | ||
immediately before the effective date of this Act, and the former | ||
law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
