SB 934 updates Michigan's Mobile Home Commission Act to modernize regulations for manufactured housing, mobile home parks, and dealers. The bill clarifies definitions for terms like 'mobile home,' 'infraction,' and 'material deficiency' to distinguish between minor violations and those threatening health or safety. It also establishes new sections to guide local government roles and streamline licensing processes by specifying when an application is considered complete. These changes aim to provide clearer standards for the licensure, operation, and management of mobile home facilities across the state.

MODERATE
The Senate passed a substitute version of SB 934 that makes several substantive corrections and clarifications to the mobile home manufactured housing commission act. The most significant changes include correcting the federal agency name from 'Department of Urban Development' to 'Department of Housing and Urban Development,' changing 'fire hydrant replacement' to 'fire hydrant placement' in park construction standards, removing local governments as entities that can identify material deficiencies for licensing purposes, and correcting cross-references from section 35 to section 43 for fee and fine collection. Terminology was also standardized by replacing 'retailers' with 'mobile home dealers' throughout.
DEFINITION

References to the federal agency were corrected from 'Department of Urban Development' to 'Department of Housing and Urban Development' in two places defining manufactured housing standards and certification labels.

The term 'retailers' was replaced with 'mobile home dealers' in the act's title description and in rules governing dealer practices, aligning the language with the defined term used elsewhere in the act.

REQUIREMENT

In mobile home park construction standards, 'fire hydrant replacement' was changed to 'fire hydrant placement' in two sections. This shifts the regulatory focus from requiring replacement of existing hydrants to specifying where new hydrants must be located.

ELIGIBILITY

References to local governments that enter agreements with the department under section 17 were removed from two provisions about material deficiencies. Previously, deficiencies identified by a local government could count toward compliance; now only the department or its authorized representative can identify qualifying deficiencies for licensing and transfer purposes.

FISCAL

Cross-references in the mobile home license enforcement fund and mobile home hardship fund provisions were corrected from 'section 35' to 'section 43' regarding which section governs the fees and fines deposited into these funds.
