What’s in it
AI summary Instead of giving out workforce housing tax incentives to whoever asks first, the state will now decide when to issue them based on whether a housing project is finished and meets certain rules. This change affects how the economic development authority manages the money available for these housing projects each year.1

This bill relates to workforce housing tax incentives issued by the economic development authority (authority). The bill strikes a provision requiring the authority to issue workforce housing tax incentives on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum amount allowable for the fiscal year has been achieved under Code section 15.354(4)(a). The bill specifies the authority shall issue the tax incentives as the authority determines the workforce housing project is complete and the requirements have been met until the maximum amount allowable has been achieved. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
