Bill > HB2868

This bill, concerning the Arizona Department of Housing, introduces several changes to the licensing and operational requirements for manufacturers, dealers, brokers, and installers of manufactured homes and mobile homes. Key provisions include requiring applicants for an installation license to provide proof of insurance that covers potential damage to manufactured homes or mobile homes and their supports during installation, with the department able to request this proof at any time and requiring installers to notify the department of any changes or cancellations to their insurance. The bill also mandates that license renewals now require a valid fingerprint clearance card and proof of insurance, if applicable, in addition to existing requirements. Furthermore, it clarifies that cosmetic, superficial, or minor defects in manufactured homes do not include issues with the performance of the home's structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or gas systems, and it removes the requirement for the board to adopt rules for cosmetic complaint procedures and repair scheduling, instead placing more responsibility on the manufacturer or dealer to address these issues within specified timeframes.
