The bill establishes the Factory-Built Home Property Act in Louisiana, amending various sections of the Louisiana Revised Statutes to redefine and regulate factory-built homes, which include manufactured and modular homes. Key changes involve replacing the term "manufactured housing" with "factory-built home" throughout the statutes and introducing new definitions that classify these homes as movable property. This classification ensures that factory-built homes are governed by the same provisions as movable property regarding sales, security interests, and taxes, while also clarifying that ownership does not automatically transfer with the sale of the land. The bill outlines processes for the transfer, immobilization, and deimmobilization of factory-built homes, including the necessary declarations and associated fees.

Additionally, the bill addresses the leasing and management of factory-built homes, clarifying the roles of lessors and lessees, and updating legal language to reflect current practices. It establishes procedures for handling rental payment defaults and abandoned properties, ensuring that lessors can notify secured parties when payments are overdue. The bill also redefines "vehicle" to include factory-built homes, ensuring that the same provisions apply regardless of registration status. Furthermore, it authorizes fire protection districts to establish service charges for all structures, including factory-built homes, and mandates that property owners receive receipts for these payments. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding factory-built homes, enhancing clarity and protecting the rights of all parties involved.
