JUSTIFICATION: Current law states that families with two or more dependants whose probable aggregate annual income does not exceed one hundred and twenty-five percent of average median income are eligible for Mitchell-Lama housing, provided they pay a rental surcharge. This bill would simply alter the provision to eliminate the requirement
