Bill > HR6293

This bill updates the definition of a manufactured home by allowing homes to be built with or without a permanent chassis, and requires states to treat these homes equally under their laws. Specifically, the bill amends the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act to require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to develop new standards for manufactured homes without a permanent chassis, including distinct labeling and documentation. States must submit certifications within one to two years (depending on their legislative schedule) confirming they will treat chassis-less manufactured homes the same as traditional manufactured homes across areas like financing, taxation, insurance, and sale. If a state fails to submit this certification, they will be prohibited from manufacturing, installing, or selling these new types of manufactured homes. The bill aims to expand housing supply by creating more flexibility in manufactured home construction and ensuring consistent regulatory treatment across different home designs. The legislation also requires coordination between federal agencies to ensure uniform treatment of these newly defined manufactured homes across different federal regulations.
