Resolve, To Establish The Innovative Factory-Made Housing Working Group
This bill establishes a 36-member working group to examine factory-made housing options in Maine. The group includes representatives from housing industry associations (like the Home Builders Association and Manufactured Housing Association), state agencies (such as the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation), building code experts, and local government officials. Members are appointed by the Governor, Senate President, House Speaker, and agency directors to address zoning, building codes, and industry practices related to factory-built housing. The working group’s purpose is to study these issues, not to enact new laws.
