Bill Summary
As enacted, requires this state's definition of manufactured home to automatically update with the definition of manufactured home under title 42 of the United States Code, which currently excludes a self-propelled recreational vehicle. - Amends TCA Title 47; Title 55 and Title 68.
AI Summary
This bill updates Tennessee's legal definition of a "manufactured home" across three different sections of state law (Titles 47, 55, and 68) by directly referencing the federal definition found in 42 U.S.C. § 5402(6). The key change is that the state will now automatically adopt the federal definition, which currently excludes self-propelled recreational vehicles from being classified as manufactured homes. This means that whenever the federal definition changes in the future, Tennessee's state law will automatically update to match without requiring additional legislative action. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will impact how manufactured homes are defined and potentially regulated in areas such as commerce, vehicle registration, and housing standards. By adopting the federal definition, the bill aims to create consistency between state and federal law regarding the classification of manufactured homes.
