CSHB 1585 ON SECOND READING
(by C. Bell, Gates, et al.)
CSHB 1585, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to housing finance corporations and to the location of residential developments owned by those corporations.
HB 1585 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE C. BELL: Members, I'd like for you to listen closely to this particular layout because we need to get 100 votes on this particular vote. We have what are called traveling HFCs—housing finance corporations—that are operating outside of their jurisdiction and, in doing so, are removing billions. Since August 2024 through January 1, about $3.6 billion—that number's now just under $6 billion. It's coming out of your districts. And it is coming out of your districts without the consent of your local jurisdictions. So this is a very important bill because we've got to stop this practice of these traveling HFCs, and this bill would end the practice of traveling HFCs without the consent of the local authorities.
REPRESENTATIVE GATES: Thank you, Mr. Bell. HB 1585 is dealing with the traveling HFCs. That's a huge—housing finance corporations. That's where apartment complexes are wiping out their property taxes 100 percent. Is that right?
C. BELL: Yes, sir. This bill is specific to the ones that are being created, right now, outside of jurisdiction. But that's what this bill looks at—is the ones that are created outside of the jurisdiction of the authority. But, yes, sir.
GATES: And one of the problems is these traveling—what you call "outside the district"—is they are wiping out the property taxes, and they're not providing any kind of affordable housing, are they?
C. BELL: Well, that is a concern—that they're not providing it. But regardless of whether they provide value or don't provide value, they're taking tax base off the local rolls without the consent of the local jurisdiction. So our local governance doesn't have any impact. These entities from some distant jurisdiction are able to enter into an agreement with a contractor or developer in your district and take that tax base off of your tax roll.
GATES: Right. And when they take the tax off the tax base and do not provide affordable housing, that's not good, is it?
C. BELL: That is not good.
GATES: And it doesn't matter if it's an in-jurisdiction HFC or an out of jurisdiction. If they don't provide any kind of affordability, that wiping out the property taxes—that's not good, is it?
C. BELL: That would not be good. I have been advised we need to stay specifically to this bill on that. But, yes, we need to make certain that HFCs do provide what they are set to provide. I believe there's another bill coming up in the very near future that will address the concerns with HFCs as they are regulated, but that's not this bill.
GATES: As far as the subject of this bill, who are the types of people who are doing these traveling HFCs?
C. BELL: As I understand it, they are entities that—Cameron County is one of them. There are several. There's a list that are all out there. But what they're doing is they are using the authority that would exist for them inside their own jurisdiction, and they're interpreting that they can take that to Ms. T's jurisdiction or to Chairman Lozano's district—or whoever else's district. Everybody in this whole body is subject to these traveling HFCs as of right now. Again, billions of dollars being removed from your tax base. If we get 100 votes now, we can stop the practice as we see it.
GATES: And of the traveling HFCs—what you call those doing outside the jurisdiction—how many do you suspect have been done over the last two years?
C. BELL: Actual number of projects?
GATES: Right.
C. BELL: I don't have an exact number. I'm pretty sure you do.
GATES: Last session, they would wipe out the property taxes. Did they use a different type of way to do it?
C. BELL: I believe we've got to stay on this bill. But I understand that you carried a bill last session that addressed a similar issue.
GATES: Right. We did some reform last session. But it looks like ever since then, they've gone to this new model under Chapter 394. Would you agree?
C. BELL: Again, staying with this bill, inside the chapter, we do have a problem in the interpretation within some of these jurisdictions—that they can go into another jurisdiction where they have no authority and remove tax base from that jurisdiction's tax rolls.
GATES: The HFCs, you said, could be an out of jurisdiction, a county or a city, correct?
C. BELL: That's my understanding.
GATES: And who do they partner with? Who is the owner that's actually running the property?
C. BELL: So they can partner with private entities, and it is a housing—as I understand it, the housing finance corporation is effectively—in most cases—a public-private partnership.
GATES: And would you agree that some of these are being taken advantage of by Wall Street banks and real estate investment firms from New York and California?
C. BELL: Chairman Gates, I would tell you right now that there are people marketing, today, the product in your districts—right now, as we speak—trying to pull your taxes off of your tax base—your tax base down—without granting you any benefit for that and without the consent of your local jurisdiction.
GATES: Again, under Chapter 394 that this bill is trying to deal with is the traveling. But it's not going to do anything about the fact that there's no definition in your bill or in Chapter 394 of what is affordable housing, is there?
C. BELL: I believe that's going to be coming. There's no reform. The only issue addressed by this particular bill is strictly stopping the practice of planting these HFC entities within your jurisdiction, my jurisdiction—or our districts, everybody else's district—without the consent of our local taxing authorities.
GATES: And what I want to be concerned is—I just want to make clear that that's all this bill—it's not dealing with any other kind of reforms. As we established, if someone is using this chapter, they're wiping off the property taxes and not providing affordable housing. It doesn't matter if they're a traveling one or an in-jurisdiction one, it's still bad, isn't it?
C. BELL: That can be the case. I've not reviewed every single application, but certainly that can be a huge concern. And we need to stop the practice of these travelers right now. And we do need to reform the overall entity, but that's not inside this bill. That bill is coming soon, I'm sure.
GATES: Okay, so under your bill, there's not going to be any audit requirements, correct?
C. BELL: All it does is stops the practice of traveling—selling these entities in the jurisdictions that don't have to agree.
GATES: What kind of reforms are there in the bill besides the traveling part?
C. BELL: So specific to this bill, what HB 1585 does, specifically, is it defines clearly that if you have the capability of selling an HFC, it has to stay within your local jurisdiction. That is the extent of what is occurring in HB 1585.
GATES: Your bill—there are no other reforms in the bill other than the traveling?
C. BELL: No, sir. I am confident that we have reforms outside of this bill, but there are none inside this bill other than what I've just described. It's narrowly tailored to stop the issue with the traveling HFCs, which we need to address immediately and which I would ask the body to stay with you and I on. You're a joint author on this one as well.
GATES: I've joint-authored—
C. BELL: Yes.
GATES: —on this, and you joint-authored on another bill to try to deal with some reforms.
C. BELL: Yes, sir.
GATES: And that's HB 21?
C. BELL: We've got to stay on the bill, but I would—
GATES: In trying these traveling HFCs that you're trying to stop, you said you don't—I think I have found about 60 entities that are using the traveling that are outside their jurisdiction. Two years ago, when we did the PFC reform, there was none. It's all been a new thing that's happened in the last two years. Would you agree?
C. BELL: Since August of 2024, nearly $6 billion removed from our local tax bases within our districts without the consent of our taxing authorities. Yes, I agree.
GATES: So by and large, what they've done is they've moved from the reforms we did under another deal, and now they're using this Chapter 394 to do the same thing just under a different chapter.
C. BELL: Again, in staying with this bill, there has been an abuse, I believe, of Chapter 394 in creating these travelers and the interpretation of Chapter 394. HB 1585 simply stops that abuse. It does not address any other reform to that chapter.
GATES: And you said how many? You said $6 billion, you feel?
C. BELL: Just under $6 billion is the latest number I have been advised of.
GATES: Six billion in these traveling HFCs that your bill is trying to stop?
C. BELL: Since August of 2024. With a b, billion.
GATES: And I broke this down in some member districts. In your district, you have $107 million that's been wiped off.
C. BELL: I believe so. And if you want to see how big it is in your district, I have a similar list sitting right there.
GATES: Just a few other member districts. Representative Zwiener has $200 million. Representative Hopper has $289 million. Representative Schatzline has $320 million. Ms. Jones has $443 million. Representative Plesa has $510 million. And the last one is Ann Johnson has $1.1 billion that's been removed off the tax roll. And that's what we're trying to fix, isn't it?
C. BELL: Yes, sir. That is what this bill seeks to stop.
GATES: In fact, in your district, just the two traveling HFCs in your county—the $107 million—it's affected your Montgomery County. Did you know $400,000 has been wiped off?
C. BELL: I am advised. That's why we're trying to get this bill passed right now, as we speak.
GATES: And your Montgomery County hospital has lost $54,000. Your Lone Star College has lost $114,000. Did you know that?
C. BELL: I'll take your word for it. I'm not looking at that.
GATES: And The Woodlands Township has lost $76,000. The MUD District 46 lost $81,000. The Montgomery ISD lost $613,000. Conroe ISD, $423,000. That's just from two deals in your district alone. That's what we're facing. And when you wipe out that kind of property taxes, that pushes that burden to whom?
C. BELL: Sir?
GATES: Who does it push the burden to when you wipe those property taxes?
C. BELL: Our local taxpayers. That's why we've got to stop this. We need 100 votes right now. It's pushing that burden onto our local taxpayers.
GATES: And you understand that, here recently, I filed a brief with the AG to try to stop the traveling HFCs. Is that correct?
C. BELL: So I have filed a request for a brief, and Senator Bettencourt has also filed that same brief. It's the same brief, effectively, that was filed a session ago, also, by Representative Lozano.
GATES: And it was my brief, okay. And you understand there's been two temporary restraining orders on the traveling HFCs just in the last 30 days?
C. BELL: I understand the courts are doing what the courts need to do. We need to stop this practice now. We don't need to have every single district go court date by court date by court date. We can do that with that little green button in front of us today.
GATES: And you and I are going to work together to do the other necessary reforms?
C. BELL: Absolutely.
GATES: We have a commitment to help each other. Is that right?
C. BELL: We have had that since day one. Yes, sir.
GATES: In fact, HB 21 is up for vote today?
C. BELL: You've got to stay on this bill. But, yes.
GATES: Mr. Chairman, I remain committed, if we're going to pass this, to stopping the traveling aspect and, still with HB 21 today, the other reforms that are necessary.
C. BELL: I believe they need to be reformed, and that's the way to do it. Yes, sir.
