directing the department of business and economic affairs to produce a report detailing methods to increase lending practices for housing developments that help persons with disabilities.

HB 1613 directs New Hampshire's Department of Business and Economic Affairs to produce a report by November 1, 2026, on methods to encourage financial institutions to increase lending for housing developments designed for people with disabilities. The report must identify specific incentives like tax credits, loan guarantees, and regulatory strategies, after consulting with at least five lenders (including community banks) and disability advocates. It does not create new laws or provide funding but will recommend legislative changes to support accessible housing development. The bill affects housing developers seeking financing and lenders through potential future policy adjustments based on the report's findings.
