●Chapter 12, which describesthepolicies applicable to the low-income housing taxcredit (LIHTC) administered by the Authority. 2024 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2387, amended Iowa Code section 16.35 so that the Authority is no longer required to adopt rules specifying the application procedure and allowance of LIHTC. Those aspects of program administration are addressed in the qualified allocation plan (QAP) adopted by the Authority pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 42 and the applicable Treasury regulations.

●Chapter 20, which describes the policies and procedures applicable totheSenior Living Revolving Loan Program. The policies and procedures of the program are established pursuant to Iowa Code section 16.46, and the applicable QAP adopted by the Authority pursuant to Iowa Code section 16.35.
