The bill seeks to repeal Section 23-27.4-1 of the General Laws, which established the Interstate Compact on Industrialized/Modular Buildings. This compact was an agreement among states to standardize regulations for industrialized/modular buildings, with the goal of facilitating interstate reciprocity, promoting affordable housing, and encouraging technological development. The compact included provisions for uniform rules and regulations, the creation of an Interstate Industrialized/Modular Buildings Commission, and definitions of key terms. The new legal language marked by is a simplified statement that reads "23-27.4-1. Compact entered into," indicating the removal of the detailed provisions and policies that were previously part of the compact. The bill also entails the deletion of various provisions concerning the commission's governance, such as the appointment and removal of commissioners, the election of officers, and the establishment of committees. It removes the commission's authority to collect information, support code development, adopt uniform procedures, and make recommendations for regulatory conformity. Additionally, the bill repeals articles related to the commission's financial management, the entry into force and withdrawal from the compact, reciprocity among states, and the compact's overall legal effect. The removal of these sections suggests the dismantling of the compact and its associated commission, with the bill taking effect immediately upon passage.
