Modular home; revise definition as used under the Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law.
HB 999 revises Mississippi's definition of "modular home" under the Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law. It clarifies that modular homes must be certified by manufacturers to comply with Mississippi's current building code, installed on approved foundations, and explicitly excludes manufactured homes (which follow federal safety standards). This change directly affects manufacturers, contractors, and installers of modular homes by defining their regulatory requirements. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not alter existing rules for manufactured or mobile homes.
