SB 253 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF A MANUFACTURED HOME UNIT.

SB 253 amends Arkansas law to clarify that a "manufactured home unit" must be a structure designed to be moved on highways when attached to a vehicle. This change directly affects manufacturers, sellers, and local governments that enforce housing regulations for these homes. The key provision adds the requirement that the home must be capable of being transported on roads as part of its definition, ensuring consistency in how these homes are classified under state law. The bill was enacted as Act 256 on March 6, 2025.
