Bill > SB0119

This bill updates Tennessee's legal definition of "manufactured home" across three different sections of state law (Titles 47, 55, and 68) by directly referencing the definition found in 42 U.S.C. § 5402(6), a federal statute. The key change is that the state's definition will now automatically align with the federal definition, which currently excludes self-propelled recreational vehicles from being classified as manufactured homes. This means that whenever the federal definition changes, Tennessee's definition will automatically update without requiring separate legislative action. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to create consistency in how manufactured homes are defined across different areas of Tennessee law, such as commercial transactions, vehicle registration, and housing regulations. By linking the definition to the federal statute, the bill ensures that Tennessee's legal interpretation of manufactured homes remains current and synchronized with federal standards.
