The bill amends Section 32-20-21 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to allow the Alabama Department of Revenue to issue certificates of title for manufactured homes that are model year 1999 and earlier, provided that a current owner requests it. This change introduces new legal language that permits the issuance of titles for these older manufactured homes, which were previously excluded from title issuance unless they fell under specific categories such as being owned by the U.S. government or a manufacturer.
Additionally, the bill makes nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language, including changing the term "cancelled" to "canceled." The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process for current owners of older manufactured homes to obtain titles, thereby enhancing their ownership rights.
