This bill amends two sections of the Idaho Code related to manufactured homes. In Section 39-4105, the definition of "manufactured home" is revised to clarify that it includes multidwelling unit manufactured homes constructed in accordance with HUD standards. Additionally, the language regarding the "International Building Code" and "International Fire Code" is updated for consistency, replacing capitalized terms with lowercase. The bill also specifies that manufactured homes must meet certain size and construction standards, including being built on a permanent chassis and designed for use as a dwelling.

In Section 67-6509A, the bill outlines new provisions for the siting of manufactured homes in residential areas. It allows single-dwelling unit manufactured homes to be placed on lots designated for single-family dwellings, while multidwelling unit manufactured homes can only be sited in areas designated for multifamily dwellings. The bill also establishes placement standards for manufactured homes outside mobile home parks, including minimum space requirements and construction standards that align with those for conventional single-family homes. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage.
