Uniform Standards Code for Manufactured Homes Act

The act governs the construction, safety, and sale of manufactured homes, directing a state administering body to establish uniform standards that such homes must satisfy before they may be offered for sale. Its principal mechanisms are certification by the manufacturer and a required label on each home, licensing of those who sell manufactured homes, and inspection, testing, and recordkeeping at manufacturing establishments, with the sale of unlabeled new homes prohibited. Compliance is backed by license fees and penalties, and the administering body may contract with agencies that deal with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, while the act also addresses how its enforcement relates to local inspection ordinances.
