This bill allows low-income housing tax credits to be transferred multiple times between different owners or entities, rather than being limited to a single transfer. It directly affects taxpayers who own interests in low-income housing buildings and the entities that receive these tax credits. The key provision permits a transferee to pass the credit on to another person or entity, provided the transfer is properly documented and does not affect the project's eligibility for program benefits. The changes apply to tax credits allocated under the public housing law, regardless of whether the projects are under construction, completed, or in pre-development stages.
