Bill > SB2410

This bill updates the definition of "modular homes" in Mississippi's Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law to clarify and modify existing requirements. Specifically, the bill replaces the previous definition with a new one that requires modular homes to be certified by manufacturers as constructed in accordance with the most current version of the residential building code adopted by the Mississippi Building Codes Council, instead of a generic "nationally recognized building code". The bill also adds a requirement that when modular homes are designed to be permanently installed at their final destination, they must be installed on an approved foundation following the manufacturer's installation guidelines. An important new provision exempts structures used for hunting and fishing camps from these building code requirements. The definition continues to exclude manufactured housing as defined by the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing manufacturers and contractors time to adjust to the new standards.
