Senate Bill 119 aims to standardize the definition of "manufactured home" across various sections of Tennessee Code Annotated. The bill amends Section 47-9-102, Section 55-1-105, and Section 68-126-202 by deleting the existing definitions of "manufactured home" and substituting them with a new definition that aligns with the federal definition found in 42 U.S.C. 5402(6). This change ensures consistency in the legal understanding of manufactured homes within the state's laws.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of clarity and uniformity in the legal framework surrounding manufactured homes in Tennessee. By adopting the federal definition, the bill aims to eliminate any discrepancies that may arise from varying interpretations of what constitutes a manufactured home.
