                    re-refer to Rules and Operations of the Senate
     Introduced by: Sens. Ballard, Britt, Lee                      Prepared by: Bill Patterson
     Analysis of:   First Edition                                               Committee Co-Counsel

     OVERVIEW: Senate Bill 554 would modify certain requirements that must be met by a single-family
     modular home to receive a seal certifying compliance with the North Carolina State Residential
     Building Code, by exempting from those requirements modular homes that are not built on a frame.
     CURRENT LAW: A modular home is statutorily defined as a factory-built structure that is designed to
     be used as a dwelling, is manufactured in accordance with State Residential Building Code specifications
     for modular homes, and bears a seal or label issued by the Department of Insurance pursuant to G.S. 143-
     139.1.1
     To qualify for a label or seal signifying manufacture in compliance with the State Building Code, a
     modular home intended for single-family use must comply with certain requirements for roof pitch, eave
     projection, minimum height of the first-story exterior wall, siding and roofing materials, and foundations,
     as set forth in G.S. 143-139.1(a).
     BILL ANALYSIS: Senate Bill 554 would amend G.S. 143-139.1(a) by making it applicable only to
     single-family modular homes that are built on a frame. Modular homes that are not built on a frame would
     not have to meet the requirements set forth in this subsection in order to be certified as having been
     manufactured in compliance with the State Residential Building Code.
     EFFECTIVE DATE: This act is effective when it becomes law.
