Overview
This bill modifies the regulations surrounding factory-built housing in California. It shifts the authority to establish local requirements – such as zoning, design standards, flood control, and wildfire safety – from the state to local jurisdictions. The bill also prohibits cities and counties from imposing building standards exceeding state minimums on factory-built housing projects and clarifies the definition of ‘factory-built housing’ to focus on structures with a significant percentage of factory-built components. Finally, it addresses definitions and clarifies the roles of various agencies involved in the oversight of factory-built housing construction.
