Overview
This bill expands the California Factory-Built Housing Law to include the inspection and approval of factory-built developments, which are defined as projects using at least 50% factory-built housing. It removes local government inspection duties and requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to establish standards for installation inspection agencies. Licensed architects can also approve these plans, and approved plans can be reused in subsequent projects. The bill aims to streamline the process and reduce costs associated with factory-built housing construction.
