AI Summary

This bill makes several changes related to manufactured homes and limited equity cooperatives, aiming to simplify processes and increase affordability. It modifies the requirements for real estate deeds for mobile homes, now referred to as manufactured homes, to streamline their conversion into residential real estate. For limited equity cooperatives, which are housing corporations designed to provide affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals, the bill prohibits subleasing of units for cooperatives formed after June 30, 2026, unless a member faces hardship, and clarifies that these cooperatives are treated as nonprofit organizations for state funding purposes. Additionally, the bill ensures that manufactured homes are treated the same as other housing types in municipal zoning regulations, exempts limited equity cooperatives from needing a stormwater permit for large impervious surfaces, and exempts all mobile homes from sales tax while shifting those previously subject to sales tax to the property transfer tax, and exempts mobile home parks organized as limited equity cooperatives from property taxes.
