What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes the Department of Administration to award loans to owners

of rental housing units for purposes of satisfying applicable housing quality

standards. Under the bill, a loan recipient must satisfy all applicable housing

quality standards for the duration of the loan. Additionally, a loan recipient who

rents housing units to persons or families of low or moderate income may have the

loan forgiven based on rules promulgated by DOA. Those rules must also limit each

loan to $10,000, limit loan recipients to the receipt of no more than five loans, require,

subject to certain limitations specified in the bill, an equal distribution of loans

throughout the state, to the extent practicable, and require DOA to publicize the loan

program.
