Fiscal Note (H-AM 1) (Housing Development Authority)
This bill stipulates that "...the Authority (defined as IHDA) must use 10% of its funds in any given year on grants..." (for this new Rental Housing Program). While this proposes a redirection of IHDA resources (which have historically been primarily used for housing development financing, new construction and rehabilitation), it is uncertain which programs and resources are to be included. Some federal and State programs and funding sources restrict eligible activities and the uses of funds, and do not include rental assistance among them. Due to the uncertainty regarding the actual identified sources of this 10% commitment, there is not sufficient information available to determine the bill's fiscal impact on IHDA. House Amendment #1 provides no further classification on the sources of IHDA's 10% commitment.
State Mandates Fiscal Note (H-AM 1) (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs)
In the opinion of DCCA, HB 2206 (HA #1) creates a local government organization and structure mandate for which reimbursement of the increased costs to units of local government is not required under the State Mandates Act. An estimate of the increased costs to units of local government, if any, is not available.
Home Rule Note (H-AM 1) (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs)
The legislation does not contain language indicating a pre-emption of home rule powers and functions. Therefore, in the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, HB 2206 (HA #1) does not pre-empt home rule authority.
