AI Summary

  • Defines qualifying infill housing projects as 2-6 new dwelling units on parcels in established subdivisions (90% built out for at least 10 years), using existing infrastructure, and not in tax incremental districts

  • Retains existing rules for tax incremental districts created after December 31, 2024, which include 90% of new construction value but exclude removed improvements

  • Takes effect one year after publication
