Limit housing tax credits-projects that verify immigration status
This bill restricts state low-income housing tax credits to projects that verify the immigration status of their tenants. To qualify for the credit, property owners must obtain a written declaration confirming they will screen prospective tenants for legal presence in the United States and require proof of status, such as a birth certificate, passport, or driver's license. The owner must keep copies of these documents on file and allow the attorney general to access them for investigation purposes. If a project fails to comply with these verification requirements, the state agency can revoke the tax credit for the non-compliant housing units, though the owner may regain eligibility for those units once they are brought back into compliance.
