The bill amends RCW 46.70.011 to facilitate the sale of manufactured homes to low-income households by removing certain barriers for specific organizations. It introduces new legal language that allows community land trusts, resident nonprofit cooperatives, local governments, public housing authorities, nonprofit community or neighborhood-based organizations, federally recognized Indian tribes in Washington, and regional or statewide nonprofit housing assistance organizations to sell up to 12 manufactured homes to low-income households at cost within a 12-month period without being classified as vehicle dealers.

This change aims to promote affordable housing options for low-income families by enabling these organizations to operate more freely in the manufactured home market. The bill retains existing definitions and classifications related to vehicle dealers while expanding the scope of who can sell manufactured homes, thereby supporting efforts to increase access to affordable housing solutions.
