HR-6293 : Still Just a Bill

---

The Housing Supply Expansion Act of 2025 aims to increase housing availability by updating the federal definition of a manufactured home and establishing new regulatory frameworks.

• Redefinition of Manufactured Home: The Act expands the definition of "manufactured home" to include structures built "with or without a permanent chassis," diverging from the previous requirement for a permanent chassis. This change incorporates a broader range of factory-built housing into the federal regulatory system.
• New Standards for Chassis-less Homes: It mandates the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop specific standards for manufactured homes built without a permanent chassis. These standards will require distinct labels, data plates, and manufacturer invoice notations to differentiate them from homes built with a permanent chassis.
• State Certification Requirements:
  • States must submit an initial certification to HUD within one year (or two years for states with biennial legislatures) affirming that their laws and regulations treat all manufactured homes—whether built with or without a permanent chassis—equally regarding financing, title, insurance, manufacture, sale, taxes, transportation, and installation.
  • States are also required to submit annual recertifications confirming the continued accuracy of their compliance.
  • HUD will provide model guidance to assist states in meeting these certification requirements and will maintain a public list of compliant states.
• Consequences for Non-Compliance: If a state fails to submit the required certifications, the manufacture, installation, or sale of manufactured homes built without a permanent chassis will be prohibited within that state.
• Federal Coordination: The Act encourages HUD to coordinate with other federal agencies to ensure consistent treatment of manufactured homes across all federal laws and regulations.
• Preemption: The Act affirms that its provisions do not limit the scope of existing federal preemption under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974.
