Oklahoma Affordable Housing Act; increasing tax credit allocation limit. Effective date.

SB 1574 increases Oklahoma's annual cap for affordable housing tax credits from $4 million to $8 million for allocation years beginning on or after July 1, 2026. It directly affects developers of low-income housing projects that qualify under federal tax credit rules and investors claiming these state tax credits. The bill maintains that state credits cannot exceed federal credits for a project and must be used for projects placed in service after July 2015. The change provides more funding for affordable housing initiatives without altering eligibility requirements.
