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 outlines the responsibilities of homeowners, secured parties, and others in relation to the elimination of titles and the transfer of ownership.

Additionally, the bill introduces new procedures for the physical removal of untitled manufactured homes from the land they are affixed to, requiring consent from all relevant parties and the completion of specific applications and permits. It also establishes that the department of licensing will maintain records of eliminated titles and that the title is deemed eliminated upon recording the appropriate documents. The act is set to take effect on October 15, 2025.
