This bill makes changes to the Manufactured Home Building Code.
Section 1, subdivision 1a (Requirement; Used manufactured homes) requires a licensed or limited retailer to retain at least one copy of the Notice of Compliance form provided in this subdivision when there are sales or transfers of ownership of a used manufactured home.
Section 2, subdivision 1b (Alternative design plan) allows an alternative frost-free design plan to be submitted to local building officials or third-party inspectors, in addition to the Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI), for approval. Allows compliance with the manufacturer’s installation manual as another option for purposes of being issued a permit for an alternative frost-free design slab.
Section 3, subdivision 1e (Reinstallation requirements for single-section used manufactured homes) removes references to “single-section” to apply reinstallation requirements to all used manufactured homes.
