“(A) means a structure that contains 2 or fewer dwelling units that are each intended for residential occupancy by a single household; and (B) does not include a manufactured home, as defined in section 603 of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5402).”

That sentence, in plain words

The building holds two homes or fewer. Each is meant for one household. A factory-built home does not count.

What this is about

A duplex still fits the definition. A larger building does not. The word purchase is read broadly here.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
