AN ACT EXEMPTING THE INCOME EARNED BY A CHILD OF AN APPLICANT FROM THE CALCULATION OF GROSS INCOME IN CONSIDERATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

HB 6114 exempts income earned by a child under age 26 from being counted toward a parent's gross income when applying for rental assistance. This change directly affects families applying for the state's rental assistance program, specifically those with children who earn income. The bill modifies eligibility rules by excluding the child's earned income from the gross income calculation used to determine program participation. It applies to all applicants with children under 26 who are working.
