Changes earliest date of construction or rehabilitation of housing granted credits without controls.

This bill changes the qualifying date range for existing low/moderate income housing units that municipalities can count toward their housing obligation. Specifically, it expands the eligible construction/rehabilitation period from April 1, 1980, to December 15, 1986, to include units built or rehabilitated between January 1, 1948, and December 15, 1986. To qualify for credit, municipalities must verify unit occupancy, income eligibility, structural compliance, and affordability through specific certification processes. The bill maintains the existing 1,000-unit cap for municipalities' housing requirements over a 10-year period.
