AN ACT INCLUDING MOBILE HOMES THAT ARE ABLE TO BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS MEETING CERTAIN INCOME REQUIREMENTS IN THE CALCULATION OF THE THRESHOLD FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE EXEMPTION.

HB 5585 expands the exemption from the affordable housing appeals procedure to include income-qualified mobile manufactured homes. Specifically, it adds mobile homes (not deed-restricted) that can be purchased by households earning 80% or less of the area median income to the calculation of the 10% threshold for this exemption. This change directly affects low-income buyers of such mobile homes by potentially making them eligible for the exemption. The bill modifies how the threshold is calculated under existing housing law, without changing the exemption’s core requirements. It does not alter the income thresholds or the exemption process itself.
