STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10516
The purpose of this proposed legislation is to harmonize statutory
provisions and administrative rules regarding the installation of
mobile/manufactured homes in Idaho.
Idaho Code Section 44-2201 authorizes the administrator of the division
of building safety to "promulgate rules in accordance with the
provisions of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, ... specifying
standardized installation instructions for [mobile/manufactured
homes]." That section further provides that when the administrator has
promulgated such rules, they shall control over the language in Chapter
22 of Title 44. Pursuant to that authority, the administrator
promulgated IDAPA 07.03.12, which became effective in April 2000. The
Idaho Manufactured Home Installation Standard is a comprehensive
standard that replaces most of the provisions of the existing Chapter
22. This legislation amends the retained sections of Chapter 22 to
referenced the new installation standard, and repeals those sections
made obsolete by the standard.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed legislation will have no fiscal impact on General or
dedicated funds of the state of Idaho.
