This bill extends deadlines for tax abatements on eligible renovations to multiple dwelling buildings. It changes the deadline for completing eligible construction from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and extends the period cities can grant tax abatements until June 30, 2026. The bill directly affects building owners making eligible improvements and local governments administering these tax breaks under the multiple dwelling law. It does not create new programs but provides additional time for compliance with existing tax abatement rules. The key change is the one-year extension to both construction completion dates and local government authorization periods.

Bill S 2289 expands the eligibility for veterans' preference in Mitchell-Lama housing projects. Currently, this preference is available to veterans who served during a time of war. This bill removes that wartime service requirement, making the housing preference available to all veterans and their surviving spouses as defined by the civil service law. This change applies to projects with open waiting lists and will be implemented when closed lists reopen. The bill also maintains that current residents have first priority for internal transfers within their existing projects.
