Bill > HB2626

This bill modifies Arizona's laws regarding manufactured housing by making several key changes to the state's office of manufactured housing regulations. The bill removes the term "and installation" from certain sections, which appears to streamline the language around certification processes for manufactured homes. The legislation grants the department expanded powers, including establishing a state inspection and design approval bureau, entering into reciprocity agreements with other states or organizations about construction standards, and conducting inspections of manufactured housing sites. The bill empowers the director to issue certificates of compliance, investigate potential violations, order work stoppages for non-compliant construction, and verify consumer complaints related to manufactured housing dealers, brokers, salespeople, installers, and manufacturers. Additionally, the bill allows the director to enter agreements with qualified building inspection personnel, issue citations for non-permitted installations, and maintain oversight of installation and construction standards. The modifications aim to enhance regulatory oversight and ensure safety and compliance in the manufactured housing industry, with provisions for immediate action in cases of potential life or property safety risks.
