The House Local Government Committee took executive action on Senate Bill 252, which revises laws related to manufactured and factory-built housing. Committee members approved an amendment that revised the definition of factory-built housing by removing a dated statutory cross-reference and incorporating updated wording to clarify when a unit qualifies as factory-built housing and how DLI certification would operate.
After discussing the amendment, the committee voted by voice to move the amendment forward. The committee then moved that Senate Bill 252, as amended, be recommended do pass. The committee also recorded several proxy aye votes during the voice votes. Committee members asked that a House member carry the bill to the floor; a carrier was identified in committee proceedings.
