In the event a BILL AS PASSED BY THE HOUSE H.757 Page 11 of 49 unit is provided an exemption under this subdivision (B), the total cost of rent for the unit, including utilities not covered by rent payments and costs for the proprietary lease payment, shall not exceed the applicable fair market rent established by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
(b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a cooperative housing corporation organized as a limited equity cooperative shall be treated as if it has incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of this State, including for registration purposes with the Secretary of State.

In addition to safeguarding the foregoing public purpose, a limited equity cooperative shall meet the following requirements:
(1) The articles of incorporation shall require that cooperative interests be sold at not more than a transfer value determined by a limited equity formula contained in the articles.
That value shall be consistent with the object of maintaining long-term affordability of cooperative interests for persons or households of low and moderate income.
(2) A limited equity formula, once established by a cooperative housing corporation in its articles of incorporation, may be amended only if that amendment does not make the cooperative membership unaffordable for the class of low- or moderate-income households for which the cooperative housing corporation was originally incorporated, as determined and certified by the Commissioner of Housing and Community Affairs Development.
A cooperative housing corporation once organized under this section may not reorganize as other than a limited equity cooperative without first dissolving.
(3) A limited equity cooperative shall not sell all or substantially all of its assets if such sale is intended to circumvent the public purposes of this section.
BILL AS PASSED BY THE HOUSE H.757 Page 29 of 49 (4) The articles of incorporation shall require that the cooperative housing corporation shall have the first right to repurchase a member’s cooperative interest.
(5) The articles of incorporation shall require that the total distribution out of capital to a member shall not exceed that transfer value.
(6) The articles of incorporation shall require that upon dissolution of the cooperative housing corporation, any assets remaining after retirement of corporate debts and distribution to members shall be distributed to a charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a public agency, or another limited equity cooperative whose formula for determining transfer value shall be not less restrictive than that of the cooperative housing corporation being dissolved.
(7) The articles of incorporation shall require that no sublease of a unit shall provide for monthly payments by the sublessee in excess of 110 percent of monthly payments for the unit provided for in the proprietary lease.
(8) Notwithstanding subdivision (7) of this subsection (a), for a mobile home park organized as a limited equity cooperative, the articles of incorporation shall:
(A) prohibit the subleasing of a unit, unless:
BILL AS PASSED BY THE HOUSE H.757 Page 30 of 49 (i) a member demonstrates a hardship, in which case the board of directors may by an affirmative vote of the majority grant an exemption from the prohibition;
and (ii) the unit is subleased to an individual of low or moderate income;
and (B) require that a unit owner shall not sublease a unit under this subdivision (8) for a higher amount than necessary to cover the costs of the unit to the member, including the costs of the monthly payment for the unit provided for in the proprietary lease, the costs of any mortgage for the unit owner, and any costs of utilities passed on to the sublessee.
(b) A mobile home park organized as a limited equity cooperative shall be treated for the purposes of State funding and grants as if it were incorporated as a State nonprofit corporation for a public purpose and public benefit under the laws of this State.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to alter or change specific funding or grant requirements, including the definition of low or moderate income, as outlined in any program, funding, or grant source.
