The bill establishes the Factory-Built Home Property Act, amending various sections of the Louisiana Revised Statutes to provide clear definitions and regulations regarding factory-built homes, which replace the previously used term "manufactured housing." Key provisions include the classification of factory-built homes as movable property, even when situated on immovable property, and the introduction of new definitions for terms such as "mobile home" and "modular home." The bill also outlines the responsibilities of manufacturers and dealers, aligns state laws with federal standards, and clarifies ownership and security interests related to factory-built homes.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws concerning the leasing and management of factory-built homes, detailing the responsibilities of lessors and establishing a fee structure for repossession. It addresses the treatment of abandoned factory-built homes, allowing property owners to claim privileges on unencumbered homes and outlining notification processes for lessees. The bill also redefines "vehicle" to include factory-built homes, ensuring consistent treatment in terms of taxation and service charges. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding factory-built homes, enhance property rights, and standardize administrative processes related to these structures.
