(a)  The federal Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-514) and subsequent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, including, but not limited to, the federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1989, establishes a low-income housing tax credit to stimulate the production and rehabilitation of shelter for lower income individuals and families.

A credit of approximately 4 percent each year over a 10-year or 15-year period is provided for the expenses of the acquisition of an existing building generally not placed in service within the last 10 years, and the construction and rehabilitation of each qualifying low-income unit financed with tax-exempt bonds or certain other federal subsidies.

(d)  Federal law requires a plan for allocation of credit among projects, including selection criteria to be used to determine housing priorities that are appropriate to local conditions.

(g)  It is necessary to designate the state housing credit agency and to establish an allocation system for the low-income housing credit.
