STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10164
Amends existing law to clarify that county housing authorities may continue to
own and operate housing projects within a city after a city either annexes
unincorporated county area containing the project or creates a city housing
authority covering an area in which a county housing authority has a project;
makes technical corrections to county housing authority laws; brings county
housing authority statutes into conformity with city housing authority statutes;
and adds development authority to county housing authorities which was granted
city housing authorities in 1993 by providing that bonds issued for statutory
purposes may be repaid from all or part of the housing authority's revenue, by
authorizing a county housing authority to mortgage a housing project or other
property of the authority, and finally by authorizing the pledge of income,
revenues, or mortgages of a county housing authority to repay bonds; and amends
county housing laws to require certain minimum percentages of a project be
available to persons of low income.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to any state or local government entity.
