Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 543 amends the Occupations Code to require a consumer seeking to acquire a manufactured home to provide satisfactory evidence, such as a copy of any required permit to install a septic tank on the homesite, that the home will not be located in a federally designated flood hazard area and prohibits a retailer from delivering or installing a manufactured home in such an area. The bill does not apply to a manufactured home located on real property that was zoned before a certain date for developing homesites in a flood hazard area.
