NOVAK-FORBY-FOWLER, O'BRIEN AND CAPPARELLI. (DUDYCZ) New Act Creates the Manufactured Home Quality Assurance Act, to be administered by the Department of Public Health. Provides that the Department is responsible for enforcing mobile home setup standards. Requires that a mobile home manufacturer be licensed to sell a mobile home that is to be installed in this State. Provides that after December 31, 2001, a licensed mobile home installer must supervise the installation of a mobile home. Provides that a mobile home installer who has satisfactorily completed a course approved by the Department before July 1, 2001 does not have to take any additional course of study or training to qualify for a license. Authorizes the Department of Public Health to issue licenses to manufacturers and installers. Provides for the deposit of licensing fees into the Facility Licensing Fund. Requires the Department to serve as a liaison between the State, mobile home park owners and tenants, and mobile home manufacturers, dealers, and installers. Creates the Manufactured Housing Quality Assurance Board to advise the Department. Does not require a person who installs a mobile home on his or her own property outside a mobile home park to obtain an installer's license. Preempts home rule powers, except that the Act does not apply to a home rule municipality with a population over 1,000,000. Effective immediately. HOME RULE NOTE (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) HB 681 contains language stating its provisions are an exclu- sive State power or function which shall not be exercised con- currently by any unit of local government to which the bill applies except Chicago. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, HB 681 preempts home rule authority. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Requires that a manufactured home installed after December 31, 2001 be installed under the supervision (instead of direct onsite supervision) of a licensed installer. In provisions concerning the Department of Public Health's service as a liaison between the State and certain groups interested in manufactured housing, replaces "tenants of mobile home parks" with "purchasers of mobile homes". Provides that the Governor (instead of the Department of Public Health) is to appoint the members of the Manufactured Housing Quality Assurance Board. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health) The Department anticipates approximately $190,000 in annual revenue to be generated by this legislation; and a comparable amount to be spent on implementation of the Act. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that all manufactured homes installed after December 31, 2001 must be installed under the "onsite" supervision (instead of merely under the supervision) of a licensed installer. Provides that an installer who has completed certain training before January 1, 2002 (instead of July 1, 2001) is not required to complete any other training. Changes the bill's effective date to January 1, 2002.
