STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 17007 The purpose of this amendment is to protect manufactured homes and mobile homes from being required to have their roofs rebuilt or a "snow roof" built over them in order to be eligible to receive a setting or building permit if they are to be moved. Additionally, it will prohibit municipalities from enacting a "roof load requirement" that exceeds what the homes were constructed to hold. FISCAL NOTE There is no fiscal impact on the general fund.
