The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:
(a)The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-514) establishes a volume ceiling on the aggregate amount of private activity bonds that can be issued in each state. The volume ceiling is the product of seventy-five dollars ($75) multiplied by the state population in 1987 and fifty dollars ($50) multiplied by the state population in each succeeding calendar year.
(b)Sections 1112 and 1401 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (26 U.S.C. Secs. 54a and 1400U-1) establish an aggregate amount of bond authority that can be issued in each state. Said amount may be determined from time to time by federal law, federal notice, or both federal law and notice.
(c)The federal act requires each state to allocate its volume ceiling according to a specified formula unless a different procedure is established by Governor’s proclamation or state legislation.
(d)Therefore, it is necessary to designate a state agency and create an allocation system to administer the state volume ceiling.
(e)A substantial public benefit is served by promoting housing for lower income families and individuals.
(f)A substantial public benefit is served by preserving and rehabilitating existing governmental assisted housing for lower income families and individuals.
(g)A substantial public benefit is served by providing federal tax credits or reduced interest rate mortgages to assist teachers, principals, vice principals, assistant principals, and classified employees who are willing to serve in high priority schools to purchase a home.
