Relating to the allocation of low income housing tax credits.

HB 4045 modifies how Texas allocates low-income housing tax credits by changing scoring rules for applications. It requires the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to automatically award maximum points in one scoring category if local governments (cities or counties) fail to submit written support or opposition for a project. For applications with resolutions, the department will assign positive points for supportive votes, negative points for opposition, and zero points for neutral positions. This applies only to applications submitted during 2026 or later allocation cycles, not earlier ones.
