New federal rules for manufactured homes would need approval from the Housing Secretary.
This bill would give the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development the main power to set federal safety and building rules for manufactured homes. Other federal agencies would need the Secretary's approval before creating any new standards. This change aims to make sure new rules do not significantly raise the cost of these homes for producers and buyers.
Today, different federal agencies can create their own building and safety rules for manufactured homes, and these rules don't always cover energy efficiency. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development would have the main power to set these standards and would need to approve any new rules from other federal agencies. The scope of these standards would also specifically include energy efficiency.
