An Act Regarding Municipal Inspection Of The Electrical And Plumbing Components Of A Manufactured Home

This Maine bill exempts electrical and plumbing work performed inside certified manufactured homes from local municipal inspections, provided the installation is done by a licensed manufacturer's employee under the supervision of a master electrician or plumber. The legislation aims to eliminate what it describes as duplicative state and local checks that delay housing placement during a significant housing crisis. It also clarifies licensing exemptions for homeowners performing minor electrical or plumbing work in their own single-family residences, such as installing light fixtures or connecting pump piping.
