Allow military to participate in homeownership savings program
This bill expands eligibility for a state homeownership savings program to include active-duty members of the uniformed services. Under the new rules, these service members can open savings accounts to build funds for home down payments and closing costs, provided they apply after their permanent change of station orders. The legislation also requires state officials to issue an annual report detailing the program's participation numbers, total contributions, and financial performance.
