HB 91 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

County housing authorities, further provides for the powers of authorities and exempts from taxes

HB 91 expands the powers of Alabama county housing authorities to manage housing projects and community facilities. It permits authorities to form business subsidiaries, make loans, enter contracts, and ratify any existing wholly-owned subsidiaries they've created. The bill also exempts county housing authorities from all taxes, reducing operational costs. These changes update the legal framework to provide greater flexibility in housing management without altering the authorities' core responsibilities.

MINOR
The bill was finalized for the Governor's signature, updating the document version number and page headers. Substantively, the bill reorganized the definitions section to include a new definition for 'Mixed-Use Project' and renumbered existing terms to accommodate this addition.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to explicitly cover 'Mixed-Use Projects' as a defined term, allowing county housing authorities to regulate developments combining multiple uses like housing, retail, and medical facilities.
DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'Mixed-Use Project' to clarify that developments with multiple uses (e.g., housing, office, retail) fall under the authority's jurisdiction.

TECHNICAL

Renumbered existing definitions (e.g., 'County Commission' moved from item 3 to 6) to maintain sequential order after inserting the new 'Mixed-Use Project' definition.

Updated document metadata, changing the bill version from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and updating the internal tracking number from N9UFJT8-2 to N9UFJT8-3.
