The section amends the definition of a manufactured home in section 603(6) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, replacing the requirement that the home be on a permanent chassis with wording that covers homes built with or without one.
What the document actually says
“Section 603(6) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5402(6)) is amended by striking ``on a permanent chassis'' and inserting ``with or without a permanent chassis''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Four words come out of the older law. New words go in. The new words say a home may have a steel frame under it or not.
What this is about
A chassis is the steel frame a factory-built home sits on. It is what the home rides on to the site. The older rule said every such home had to keep one.
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, checked against 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.
