Senate Bill 119 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to standardize the definition of "manufactured home" across multiple titles. Specifically, it deletes the existing definitions in Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 47-9-102, 55-1-105, and 68-126-202, and substitutes them with a new definition that aligns with the federal definition found in 42 U.S.C. 5402(6). This change aims to create consistency in the legal understanding of manufactured homes within state law.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the new definition will be in place for future legal and regulatory considerations regarding manufactured homes in Tennessee. By harmonizing the definition across different legal contexts, the bill seeks to simplify compliance and enforcement related to manufactured housing.
