  • Prohibits lenders and credit unions from making loans to housing finance corporations unless the corporation provides proof of compliance with the new geographic operating restrictions

  • Requires housing finance corporations that own multifamily developments and claim property tax exemptions to submit annual compliance audits to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and the local appraisal district, with initial reports due by June 1 following the first anniversary of acquisition or occupancy
