HB 273 Alaska House · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to commercial fishing loans; relating to subsidiary corporations of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation; relating to the power of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to make or purchase mortgage loans; and providing for an effective date.

This bill restricts the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation from issuing or purchasing certain types of mortgage loans to ensure responsible lending practices. Specifically, it sets limits on loan amounts and values for multi-unit homes, requires that construction work be done by registered contractors for new or improved housing, and prohibits loans for rental properties that do not include non-discrimination clauses. Additionally, the legislation bars loans for borrowers who already have existing housing debt under state programs or who have unpaid court-ordered child support obligations. These changes directly affect the corporation's lending decisions and the eligibility criteria for individuals seeking housing finance assistance in Alaska.
