Bill > HB1016

This bill repeals RSA 674:32, which previously required municipalities to allow for manufactured housing development opportunities. By eliminating this existing law, the bill removes the mandatory requirement for local governments to create zoning regulations that permit manufactured housing (also known as mobile homes) in their communities. Manufactured housing typically refers to prefabricated homes built in factories and transported to a site, which are often more affordable than traditional site-built homes. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, meaning that municipalities will no longer be legally obligated to include provisions for manufactured housing in their local land use regulations. This change could potentially make it more difficult for individuals and families seeking more affordable housing options to find suitable locations for manufactured homes.
