Summary:

Provides overview of mortgage revenue bonds (MRBs), which are bonds issued by States and their political subdivisions, the interest on which is exempt from Federal income taxes if the bonds qualify under rules stipulated in the tax code. Covers program administration, volume cap, and impact on alternative minimum tax. Summarizes and analyzes provisions of H.R. 3221, the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, to change MRB rules to allow bond proceeds to be used by current home owners to refinance certain loans, increase the amount of bond allocation authority available to States, and exclude interest earned on the bonds under the alternative minimum tax.
