This bill amends the definition of manufactured housing and mandates its acceptance in all residentially zoned areas across municipalities in the state. The existing definition in RSA 674:31 is repealed and replaced with a new definition that specifies manufactured housing as structures that are transportable, meet certain size requirements, and are designed for use as dwellings. The bill explicitly excludes campers, recreational vehicles, pre-site built housing, and modular buildings from this definition.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, RSA 674:31-b, which requires municipalities to permit manufactured housing in all residential zones, overriding any local zoning ordinances that may restrict or prohibit its placement. Municipalities are required to amend their zoning ordinances to comply with this statute within six months of its effective date, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development will oversee compliance and provide necessary guidance. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
