3. Purpose for the proposed rules and background:  
The MSHDA administrative rule set defines guidelines for a variety of programs authorized by the  
State Housing Development Authority Act of 1966. Proposed revisions and changes are generally to  
address clarity, modern usage, and adherence to current Rule Style Guide. R 125.203(d) is revised to  
incorporate federal definition; R 125.111 adds sub (3) to impose time limit on appeals from Authority  
decisions where no statutory or rule limit otherwise applies. R 125.146(6) revised to reflect industry  
standard practice, and R 125.146(8) added for internal clarity. Note that intent is to remove "Part 9A"  
as designation, such that R125.193 through R125.199 will fall within Part 9 for clarity and  
consistency.  
4. Summary of proposed rules:  
The proposed rule set will be updated provide clarity and update terminology to modern industry  
standards. Three new rule provisions are proposed: definitions, statutory construction, and  
administrative appeal deadlines.
