MO HB737

Amends Missouri's low-income housing tax credit statute (Section 135.350) to require that qualified allocation plans recognize veterans as a priority tenant population with special housing needs

Defines "veteran" as any person who served in active military, naval, or air service and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable (evidenced by DD Form 214), or served on active national guard duty under Titles 10 or 32 of the U.S. Code or Missouri chapter 41 (evidenced by NGB Form 22)

Extends veteran status to include the surviving spouse of a qualifying veteran for purposes of housing priority

Adds new definition of "qualified allocation plan" to the statute, linking it to selection criteria for housing priorities under Internal Revenue Code Section 42
