LB 888 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change enforcement provisions for violations of the Nebraska Uniform Standards for Modular Housing Units Act, the Uniform Standard Code for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles, and certain rules, regulations, and orders

LB 888 adjusts civil penalties for violations of Nebraska's housing standards for modular units and manufactured homes. It sets a maximum penalty of $3,650 per violation (per unit) and an annual cap of $4.56 million for related violations within one year, with both amounts automatically adjusted each August using the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. This bill directly affects manufacturers, dealers, and operators of modular housing units, manufactured homes, and recreational vehicles who must comply with these standards. The changes apply specifically to violations of the Nebraska Uniform Standards for Modular Housing Units Act and the Uniform Standard Code for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles.

What changed between versions

Introduced Final Reading · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill text shows minor formatting adjustments to the title and a significant deletion of a sentence regarding penalty mitigation. The removed text instructed the commission to consider the 'appropriateness of the penalty' based on its 'gravity' when deciding on fines, a change that removes a specific discretionary guideline for penalty assessment.
ENFORCEMENT

Deleted a provision requiring the commission to evaluate the gravity of an offense when determining penalty amounts, potentially reducing flexibility in penalty mitigation.

TECHNICAL

Adjusted the bill title line and added blank lines, likely for formatting consistency in the final reading version.
