	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the allocation of low income housing tax credits to
	projects reserved for elderly persons.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 2306.6725(d), Government Code, is
	amended to read as follows:
	(d) For each scoring criterion, the department shall use a
	range of points to evaluate the degree to which a proposed project
	satisfies the criterion. The department:
	(1) subject to Subdivision (2), may not award[:
	[~~(1)~~] a number of points for a scoring criterion that
	is disproportionate to the degree to which a proposed project
	complies with that criterion; and [or]
	(2) may award to a proposed project reserved for
	elderly persons [~~for the general population~~] a number of points for
	a scoring criterion that is greater [~~different~~] than the number of
	points awarded for that criterion to a proposed project reserved
	for the general population even [~~elderly persons~~] if the proposed
	projects comply with the criterion to the same degree.
	SECTION 2. Sections 2306.6711(h) and (i), Government Code,
	are repealed.
	SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act applies 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 2026 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 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
