 2 350-a-1 to read as follows:
 3 § 350-a-1. Standards for advertising deeply affordable housing. 1. A
 4 housing unit may only be advertised as "deeply affordable" if it is

 6 an income, as defined by the United States department of housing and
 7 urban development.
 8 2. (a) Describing a housing unit that does not meet the applicable
 9 criteria of subdivision one of this section as deeply affordable in any
 10 physical or digital promotional material created by a person or entity
 11 with a financial interest in such housing unit shall be considered false
 12 advertising for the purposes of section three hundred fifty of this
 13 article.
 14 (b) In cases where a person or entity is advertising housing units in
 15 a building or housing development that are market rate along with units
 16 which meet the definition of deeply affordable, such advertisement shall
 17 clearly state either (i) the percentage of units in such building or
 18 housing development that meet the definition of deeply affordable or
 19 (ii) the number of units that meet the definition of deeply affordable
 20 and the number of units that are market-rate.
 21 3. When a municipal government or the state provide information to the
 22 public about available deeply affordable housing units, they shall
 23 adhere to the definition and advertising rules established pursuant to

 1 this section. This includes public-facing communications, databases,
 2 and promotional materials regarding available housing units.
 3 4. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to impact
 4 eligibility for tax credits, grants, or other incentives for affordabil-
 5 ity programs with definitions that differ from those in this section;
 6 provided, however, that advertisement of any housing unit under such a
 7 tax credit, grant or other incentive program shall be governed by the
 8 provisions of this section.

 10 it shall have become a law.
