(1) On or before November 30 of each year, an issuer may elect in writing to the division to convert all or a portion of its allocation of state volume limitation for single-family affordable housing bonds to mortgage credit certificates, provided such election is made before the expiration date of the confirmation granting such allocation. Each issuer shall provide notice of any election made under this section to the governing body of the county for which the issuer was created. Such election is irrevocable.
(2) All mortgage credit certificates must be issued under a certification program that is designed to ensure that the requirements of s. 25 of the Code, specifically s. 25(f)(4), are complied with and that meets all requirements adopted by the United States Secretary of the Treasury as set out in applicable regulations. Any potential issuer of mortgage credit certificates must certify in writing to the division that the mortgage credit certification program is certified under s. 25 of the Code, specifically s. 25(f)(4).
(3) For that portion of the confirmation that an issuer has elected to use for mortgage credit certificates before the expiration thereof, the expiration dates in s. 159.8052(2) do not apply and any unissued mortgage credit certificates will automatically receive a carryforward confirmation. (4) The election referenced in subsection (1) and the certification referenced in subsection (2) must be filed with the division in accordance with s. 159.814. The director of the division is the state official designated to make the certification required by Temporary Regulation 1.25-4T(d) under the Code.
