To require approval from the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for any Federal manufactured home and safety standards, and for other purposes.

Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Flood, Mike [R-NE-1]

Introduced

Summary

Centralizes authority over manufactured home standards under the Secretary. This bill would add energy efficiency to the list of design-related factors and make the Secretary the primary official to establish federal manufactured home construction and safety standards. Other federal agencies would have to submit proposals to the Secretary and could not issue new or revised federal manufactured home standards without the Secretary's approval.

Show full summary
  • Manufactured-home producers: Proposed standards from other agencies could be rejected if the Secretary finds they would significantly increase production costs or conflict with existing Secretary-established standards.
  • Federal agencies: Agency heads would need to send proposals to the Secretary and obtain approval before creating or revising federal manufactured home construction and safety rules.
  • Homebuyers and residents: Design rules for manufactured homes would explicitly include energy efficiency as a design factor, making energy performance part of federal standard considerations.

Housing Department approval for manufactured home rules

This bill would make the Housing Secretary the main decision-maker for federal manufactured home standards. Any other federal agency that wants a new or revised standard on or after enactment would need the Secretary’s approval. The Secretary could reject a rule that significantly raises build costs, conflicts with HUD rules, or for any other reason the Secretary finds appropriate. The bill would also add energy efficiency as a factor when writing or updating these standards. It would not require HUD to issue new standards, and effects on prices or energy bills would depend on future decisions.
