The law removes a ban on local installation standards that differ from, or are weaker than, Division standards. It also removes a separate clause expressly preserving enforcement of some local installation rules for approved structures. Where otherwise allowed by law, local climate-related safety s… - Fewer local barriers to factory-built homes: benefit, low. Counties and towns cannot use development rules to exclude state-certified factory-built structures or federally certified manufactured homes. Factory-built homes cannot face stricter development standards than site-built homes in the same residential zones. This covers size, floor space, foundatio… - Home approvals last, but repairs face rules: mixed, low. A factory-built structure's state approval mark creates a presumption that work in its approved plans meets applicable codes. The Division of Housing makes the final decision about what the approval covers. The mark does not expire unless design or construction changes from the approved plans.

The rules must also address education, training, and certification. Local governments certified by the Division of Housing can inspect structures o… - Home utility work changes oversight: mixed, low. Once required housing rules are adopted, state electrical, plumbing, and fire-suppression authorities lose oversight of factory-built construction and installation work. The advisory committee must create electrical and plumbing compliance processes for that work. External-utility work outside a re… - Regional building rules for factory-built homes: mixed, low. The State Housing Board must adopt regional building rules by July 1, 2026, using advisory committee recommendations. Rules must account for local climate, geography, and fire safety, including wind, snow, wildfire, temperature zones, radon, and sprinklers. Construction and installation must meet t… - State money shifts to building oversight: mixed, low. The law directs a $600,000 transfer from the Innovative Housing Incentive Program Fund to the Building Regulation Fund on July 1, 2025. It provides $277,264 from the Building Regulation Fund for Division of Housing program administration in state fiscal year 2025–26. That funding assumes one additi… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Andrew Boesenecker (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Jeff Bridges (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: Rebekah Stewart (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Tony Exum (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Amy Paschal (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Gretchen Rydin (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Kyle Brown (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Lesley Smith (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Meg Froelich (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Mandy Lindsay (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Naquetta Ricks (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Cathy Kipp (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Dafna Michaelson Jenet (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Sen.
