SB 5753 - DIGEST |
(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB) |
Finds that: (1) There is a substantial inventory of unsold or foreclosed vacant homes on the market; |
(2) These homes present an opportunity to provide affordable homes to low-income families; and |
(3) Providing targeted incentives to housing developers will stimulate the sale of these vacant homes to low-income buyers now and stabilize neighborhoods affected by this growing inventory. |
Declares an intent to provide such incentives through excise tax relief on sales of homes to low-income first-time homebuyers. |
