A State that misses a certification must bar the sale of these homes
What the document says“``(i) with respect to a State in which the State administers the installation of manufactured homes, the State shall prohibit the manufacture, installation, or sale of a covered manufactured home within the State; and”
The section provides that where a State does not submit its initial certification or an annual recertification by the required date, the State must prohibit the manufacture, installation, or sale of a covered manufactured home within the State, and where the Secretary administers installation there, the State and the Secretary must both do so. A covered manufactured home is one built after enactment that federal law counts as a manufactured home but the State does not, because it has no permanent chassis. The Secretary may not waive that prohibition for a late certification unless the Secretary approves the late filing.
What the document actually says“``(i) with respect to a State in which the State administers the installation of manufactured homes, the State shall prohibit the manufacture, installation, or sale of a covered manufactured home within the State; and”
A state that misses the deadline must act. It must bar the making, setting up, or sale of these homes. That holds where the state handles setting them up.
The bar covers only homes with no steel frame built after this law. Where the federal agency handles setup, it bars them too. Filing late can lift the bar if the agency approves.
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.
