PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-08-10 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This proposal would exempt qualified mortgage bonds from a federal tax-law limit on bond issuance, called a volume cap. The exemption would apply to obligations issued after enactment. Although titled the First-Time Homebuyer Affordability Act, the supplied text does not define qualifying bonds or borrower eligibility, so it does not establish which homebuyers could be affected.
This Act may be cited as the First-Time Homebuyer Affordability Act.
2. Qualified mortgage bonds exempt from volume cap
The amendments made by this section shall apply to obligations issued after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Section 2 would add “any qualified mortgage bond” to section 146(g) of the Internal Revenue Code to create the volume-cap exemption. The supplied amendment does not reproduce the existing statutory rules defining that bond category.
Qualified mortgage bonds exempt from volume cap (a) In general Section 146(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (6) as paragraphs (2) through (7), respectively, and by inserting before paragraph (2) the following new paragraph: (1) any qualified mortgage bond, .
The proposal would renumber the existing paragraphs and update an internal reference from paragraphs (4) and (5) to paragraphs (5) and (6) to accommodate the new exemption.
redesignating paragraphs (1) through (6) as paragraphs (2) through (7), respectively
(b) Conforming amendment Section 146(g) of such Code, as amended by subsection (a), is amended by striking Paragraphs (4) and (5) in the last sentence and inserting Paragraphs (5) and (6).
The changes would apply to obligations issued after enactment. The effective date therefore depends on enactment, rather than a fixed calendar date.
(c) Effective date The amendments made by this section shall apply to obligations issued after the date of the enactment of this Act.
