| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | AN ACT concerning revenue.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
5 | Manufactured
Home
Installation Act.
| ||||||
6 | Section 3. Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds | ||||||
7 | that: | ||||||
8 | Manufactured homes provide the only affordable home | ||||||
9 | ownership resource for many citizens in Illinois. | ||||||
10 | Manufactured home parks play an essential role in meeting | ||||||
11 | the affordable housing needs of Illinois communities. | ||||||
12 | Manufactured home parks provide an unsubsidized affordable | ||||||
13 | housing option that meets the needs of society's most | ||||||
14 | vulnerable citizens: low-income and moderate-income | ||||||
15 | socio-economic groups, including senior citizens and others | ||||||
16 | that are less capable economically but still require safe and | ||||||
17 | affordable housing. | ||||||
18 | Manufactured home parks are licensed, regulated, or | ||||||
19 | inspected by government agencies to ensure that State, county, | ||||||
20 | and municipal rules and regulations are enforced. | ||||||
21 | Manufactured home park owners pay for and provide their | ||||||
22 | tenants with a substantial number of services that homeowners | ||||||
23 | outside a manufactured home park obtain through taxpayer funded |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | government sources and subsidies. | ||||||
2 | Manufactured home parks have a lease requirement that sets | ||||||
3 | standards of behavior and responsibility through the | ||||||
4 | enforcement of rules and regulations, and compliance with these | ||||||
5 | requirements can significantly diminish local government | ||||||
6 | police costs. | ||||||
7 | Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act:
| ||||||
8 | "Manufactured home" means a factory-assembled, completely | ||||||
9 | integrated structure designed for
permanent
habitation, with a | ||||||
10 | permanent chassis, and so constructed as to permit its
| ||||||
11 | transport, on
wheels temporarily or permanently attached to its | ||||||
12 | frame, and is a movable or portable unit that is (i) 8 body | ||||||
13 | feet or more in width, (ii) 40 body feet or more in length, and | ||||||
14 | (iii) 320 or more square feet, constructed to be towed on its | ||||||
15 | own chassis (comprised of frame and wheels)
from the place of | ||||||
16 | its
construction to the location, or subsequent locations, at | ||||||
17 | which it is installed and set up according to the | ||||||
18 | manufacturer's instructions and connected to utilities for | ||||||
19 | year-round occupancy
for use as a permanent habitation, and | ||||||
20 | designed and situated so as to
permit its
occupancy as a | ||||||
21 | dwelling place for one or more persons. The term shall include | ||||||
22 | units containing parts that may be folded, collapsed, or | ||||||
23 | telescoped when being towed and that may be expected to provide | ||||||
24 | additional cubic capacity, and that are designed to be joined | ||||||
25 | into one integral unit capable of being separated again into |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the components for repeated towing. The term excludes campers | ||||||
2 | and recreational vehicles. Mobile homes and manufactured homes | ||||||
3 | in mobile home parks must be assessed and taxed as chattel. | ||||||
4 | Mobile homes and manufactured homes outside of mobile home | ||||||
5 | parks must be assessed and taxed as real property. The words | ||||||
6 | "mobile home" and "manufactured home" are synonymous for the | ||||||
7 | purposes of this Act.
| ||||||
8 | The construction of mobile type dwellings known as | ||||||
9 | "manufactured homes" is regulated by the U.S. Department of | ||||||
10 | Housing and Urban Development. All mobile type homes | ||||||
11 | constructed after June 15, 1976, are manufactured homes and | ||||||
12 | must comply with the National Manufactured Home and | ||||||
13 | Construction Safety Standards; State and units of local | ||||||
14 | government are preempted from imposing any additional | ||||||
15 | construction requirements. The installation of these homes | ||||||
16 | must comply with the Manufactured Home Quality Assurance Act | ||||||
17 | and the Manufactured Home Installation Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code | ||||||
18 | 870). The location of these
homes is subject to local zoning | ||||||
19 | and covenant codes.
| ||||||
20 | Section 25 of the Manufactured Home Quality Assurance Act | ||||||
21 | requires licensed manufactured home installers to obtain from | ||||||
22 | the Department of Health a Manufactured Home Installation Seal. | ||||||
23 | The seal is to be placed on the exterior of the manufactured | ||||||
24 | home above the HUD label after the installation is completed by | ||||||
25 | the licensed manufactured home installer, in accordance with | ||||||
26 | the Manufactured Home Installation Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 870). | ||||||
2 | "Mobile home park" means a tract of land or 2 contiguous | ||||||
3 | tracts of land that contain sites with the necessary utilities | ||||||
4 | for 5 or more mobile homes or manufactured homes. A mobile home | ||||||
5 | park may be operated either free of charge or for revenue | ||||||
6 | purposes. A mobile home or manufactured home installed in a | ||||||
7 | mobile home park must not be assessed and taxed as real | ||||||
