SUMMARY



Synopsis of Senate Floor Amendment #1



The Senate Floor Amendment #1 to the committee substitute for Senate Bill 330 strikes the SCORC amendment and deletes the definition for "single-section manufactured housing".



Synopsis of SCORC Amendment



The Senate Corporation and Transportation Committee amendment to the Senate Public Affairs Committee substitute for Senate Bill 330 adds new language to Section 3, Impermissible Regulations. The new language says that no ordinance or regulation should "require that manufactured homes be placed in an excavated site."



Synopsis of Bill



The Senate Public Affairs Committee (SPAC) substitute for Senate Bill 330 would amend various sections of the "Manufactured Housing and Zoning Act" [3-21A-1 to 3-21A-8 NMSA 1978]. The committee substitute primarily updates the statute to reflect more contemporary standards for the manufactured homes industry.





Significant Issues



The committee substitute makes the following changes: 1) it strikes out references to federal and state law, 2) it makes a distinction between multi-section and single-section manufactured homes versus a mobile home, 3) provides language identifying the zoning authority for the installation of homes on permanent foundations, and 4) ensures that multi-section homes placed on a permanent foundation shall not be excluded from specific-use district, with more severe restrictions.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



The committee substitute does not contain an appropriation and would have no fiscal impact.
