Committee advances amended manufactured‑housing bill; rejects resort/local option tax
Summary
The committee amended and recommended do-pass for Senate Bill 252 (manufactured/factory-built housing definitions). In executive action on House Bill 489 (local/resort option tax) the roll call was 6 ayes and 11 noes and the motion to pass failed.
During executive action the committee took up Senate Bill 252, which revises laws related to manufactured and factory‑built housing. An amendment clarifying the definition of "factory built housing" (removing a dated reference and clarifying DLI certification vs HUD) was explained and put to a voice vote. The amendment passed by voice vote, and the committee moved the amended bill as a "do pass" recommendation.
The committee then considered House Bill 489 (a local option/resort tax). An amendment was adopted, but when the committee took the final roll-call vote the result was 6 ayes and 11 noes, and the motion to pass the bill failed. The roll call recorded the following votes: Chair Brewster — No; Vice Chair Staffman — Yes; Representative Grama — Yes; Representative Feyant — Yes; Representative Joy — Yes; Representative Lee — Yes; Representative Strand — Yes; (the remaining members recorded No or No by proxy). Committee leadership announced the bill failed to pass out of Local Government; the committee adjourned afterward.
