Plain-English Summary

The proposal would let developers and investors who build affordable housing claim tax credits for up to five years after they initially qualify, rather than having to use them immediately. This change would give housing developers more flexibility in managing their taxes and potentially make it easier for them to finance affordable housing projects. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.
