Summary

The bill amends the Food and Agricultural Code so district agricultural associations can develop, own, and lease affordable housing for low‑ and moderate‑income families. It raises the maximum lease length from 55 to 99 years and requires a recorded deed restriction that keeps all units affordable for at least 55 years. The changes also tie existing state funding prohibitions and reporting rules to these housing activities.
