	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the allocation of housing tax credits to developments
	within proximate geographical areas.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 2306.6711(f), Government Code, is
	amended to read as follows:
	(f) The board may allocate housing tax credits to more than
	one development in a single community, as defined by department
	rule, in the same calendar year only if the developments are or will
	be located more than two linear miles apart or the governing body of
	the municipality containing the development or, if located outside
	a municipality, the county containing the development has by vote
	specifically authorized the allocation of housing tax credits for
	the development. This subsection applies only to communities
	contained within counties with populations exceeding one million.
	SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
	an application for low income housing tax credits that is submitted
	to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs during an
	application cycle that is based on the 2020 qualified allocation
	plan or a subsequent plan adopted by the governing board of the
	department. An application that is submitted during an application
	cycle that is based on an earlier qualified allocation plan is
	governed by the law in effect on the date the application cycle
	began, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
