H.B. No. 327 proposes an amendment to the Local Government Code, specifically Section 211.006, by adding a new Subsection (g). This new provision states that the existing zoning requirements outlined in Subsection (d) will not apply to properties where developments have applied for or received tax credits under Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD of the Government Code. This change aims to facilitate the development of projects that receive financial assistance from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs by exempting them from certain zoning restrictions.

The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this level of support, the bill will become effective on September 1, 2025. This legislative move reflects an effort to streamline the development process for projects that contribute to housing initiatives in Texas.
