HB 293 amends Section 2306.67071 of the Texas Government Code to introduce additional requirements for applications for low-income housing tax credits when developments are financed through the private activity bond program. Under HB 293, applicants must provide notice of their intent to file an application to the state representative representing the district where the development will be located, as well as to the local governing bodies (municipal or county) based on the development’s location. Additionally, the bill allows a state representative to block the approval of an application by submitting a letter opposing the development to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). This Act applies to applications submitted based on the 2026 qualified allocation plan or later.
