A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
relating to an exemption from license requirements for the sale of |
|
certain manufactured housing. |
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 1201, Occupations Code, |
|
is amended by adding Section 1201.1025 to read as follows: |
|
Sec. 1201.1025. EXEMPTION FROM RETAILER'S LICENSE |
|
REQUIREMENT. (a) In this section, "qualifying sale" means a sale |
|
of two or more manufactured homes that are: |
|
(1) considered to be personal property; and |
|
(2) sold as part of a manufactured home community as |
|
defined by Section 94.001, Property Code. |
|
(b) Notwithstanding any other law, in any 12-month period a |
|
person is exempt from holding a retailer's license as required by |
|
Section 1201.101(b) if during that period the person: |
|
(1) makes not more than two qualifying sales; and |
|
(2) does not sell any manufactured home other than |
|
through those qualifying sales. |
|
(c) The department by rule shall develop a form necessary |
|
for a person to establish eligibility for the exemption provided by |
|
this section. |
|
(d) A person who is eligible for an exemption under this |
|
section remains subject to the other applicable provisions of this |
|
subchapter regarding the sale of manufactured homes. |
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
to the sale of manufactured homes on or after the effective date of |
|
this Act. A sale of manufactured homes before that date is governed |
|
by the law in effect on the date of the sale, and the former law is |
|
continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
