The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to facilitate the process of eliminating vehicle titles for manufactured homes, thereby allowing them to be treated as real property. Key definitions are clarified, including the meaning of "eliminating the title," which involves canceling an existing certificate of title and recording the necessary documents in county real property records. The bill specifies that a manufactured home will be considered real property only when the title is eliminated, and it outlines the procedures for doing so, including the requirement for consent from the registered and legal owners of the manufactured home.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the responsibilities of owners and secured parties in relation to the elimination of titles and the transfer of ownership. It emphasizes that a manufactured home with an eliminated title must be conveyed with the land it is affixed to and outlines the necessary steps for moving a manufactured home, including obtaining permits and consent from all relevant parties. The act is set to take effect on October 15, 2025.
