This bill transfers the rulemaking authority for manufactured housing dispute resolution from the installation standards board to the office of professional licensure and certification. The amendment to RSA 310:6, II includes the insertion of language that defines "manufactured housing dispute resolution" as a program aimed at resolving disputes between manufacturers, retailers, and installers of manufactured homes, specifically concerning the correction or repair of defects reported within one year of installation.
Additionally, the bill repeals RSA 205-D:20, VII, X, and XI, which previously granted the installation standards board the authority to set rules regarding fees. The bill's effectiveness is contingent upon the passage of SB 318 in the 2024 general legislative session; if SB 318 becomes law, section 2 of this act will not take effect. If SB 318 does not become law, section 2 will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage. The remainder of the act will take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approved date of August 23, 2024, and an effective date for the remainder of the act on October 22, 2024.
