Relating to the establishment of a down payment assistance grant program for veterans purchasing manufactured homes and the dedication of certain sales and use tax revenue to finance that program.
This bill establishes a down payment assistance grant program specifically for Texas veterans purchasing new manufactured homes. It uses dedicated sales and use tax revenue (from Section 158.059 of the Tax Code) to fund the program, administered by a state board. Eligible veterans must use the home as their primary residence for three years, with exceptions for death, job loss, or home condemnation allowing waivers. The program prohibits transferring or selling the home during this period without board approval, and requires repayment if eligibility rules are violated.
