    AN ACT concerning safety.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Manufactured Home Quality Assurance Act is
amended by changing Sections 10, 15, 25, 60, and 65 as follows:
 
    (430 ILCS 117/10)
    Sec. 10. Definitions. In this Act:
    "Department" means the Illinois Department of Public
Health.
    "Licensed installer" means a person who has successfully
completed a manufactured home installation course approved by
the Department and paid the required fees.
    "Manufactured home" and "mobile home" mean means a
"manufactured home", as defined in subdivision (53) of Section
9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code. "Mobile home" means a
factory-assembled, completely integrated structure,
constructed on or before June 30, 1976, designed for permanent
habitation, with a permanent chassis, and so constructed as to
permit its transport, on wheels temporarily or permanently
attached to its frame, that is a movable or portable unit that
is constructed to be towed on its own chassis (comprised of
frame and wheels) from the place of its construction to the
location, or subsequent locations, at which it is connected to
utilities for year-round occupancy for use as a permanent
habitation, and designed to be used as a dwelling with or
without a permanent foundation and situated so as to permit its
occupancy as a dwelling place for one or more persons. The
terms "manufactured home" and "mobile home" shall include units
otherwise meeting their respective definitions containing
parts that may be folded, collapsed, or telescoped when being
towed and that may be expected to provide additional cubic
capacity, and that are designed to be joined into one integral
unit capable of being separated again into the components for
repeated towing. The terms "manufactured home" and "mobile
home" exclude campers and recreational vehicles.
    "Manufacturer" means a manufacturer of a manufactured
home, whether the manufacturer is located within or outside of
the State of Illinois.
    "Mobile home" or "manufactured home" does not include a
modular home.
    "Mobile home park" means a tract of land or 2 contiguous
tracts of land that contain sites with the necessary utilities
for 5 or more mobile homes or manufactured homes. A mobile home
park may be operated either free of charge or for revenue
purposes.

    (430 ILCS 117/25)
    Sec. 25. Installation of home; installer's license; fees;

per year. In addition, a fee of $50 shall $25 must be paid by
the licensed installer responsible for the installation for
each manufactured home installed as evidenced by the installers

an installation certificate with the Department. A licensed
installer shall must provide proof of licensing at the
