Hearing March 1st, 2022
Update: The Bill Passed The First Ready
Regulate Tiny Homes Manufacture Sale And Install
Current law regulates the manufacturers, sellers, and installers of manufactured homes. This regulation includes requirements for the installation of manufactured homes, contract and disclosure requirements, and the registration, escrow, reimbursement, bonding, and inspections of the manufacturers, installers, and sellers. In addition, the state housing board (board) sets standards for the proper manufacture and installation of manufactured homes. The board consults with an advisory committee when promulgating rules.
The bill adds tiny homes, which are typically manufactured, to this regulation on substantially similar terms. This includes adding 2 representatives of the tiny home industry to the advisory committee. The board is given the duty to regulate foundations for manufactured homes and factory-built structures where no construction standards otherwise exist.
