Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation or a local authority to issue a special or annual permit for the transporting of a manufactured home that does not exceed 14 feet in total width, exclusive of lights and devices, upon any highway, as specified. Existing law prescribes specified requirements and conditions for transporting the above-described manufactured homes, and makes it unlawful for a person to violate any of the terms or conditions of the above-described permits.
This bill would instead require the department or the local authority to issue the above-described permits for manufactured homes under specified conditions. The bill would clarify that a special permit is not required to move a manufactured home if the applicant has obtained an annual permit. By requiring local jurisdictions to modify their approval processes for the above-described permits, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
