This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Under existing law, the Department of Veterans Affairs has specified powers and duties relating to veterans, including the administration of the CalVet Home Loan program, which helps fund the purchase of homes and farms for eligible veterans with the proceeds from tax-exempt bonds. Existing federal law requires the proceeds from certain tax-exempt bonds to be used for the acquisition of a single-family residence, as provided. This bill would require the department to urge the Congress of the United States to act immediately to remove this requirement from federal law, as specified, so that the proceeds from the bonds can be used for other types of housing.
