MEMBER Call to Action - Still in progress! |
|
Ask Your Representative in Congress
to Cosponsor H.R. 3327,
Affirming HUD as the Sole Regulator
Building upon the compliance delay of the Energy Rule, we ultimately need to have the law fixed to ensure the industry is never again faced with the chaos caused by conflicting regulations coming from two different federal agencies. Congress must hear from all sectors of the manufactured housing industry about the urgent need to change federal statute.
Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN) and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL) have introduced H.R. 3327, the Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2023. This bipartisan legislation clarifies and reaffirms the longstanding role of HUD as the sole regulator of federal manufactured housing construction standards to prevent future issues with conflicting standards originating from different federal agencies.
Join MHI's efforts and tell your Representative to support H.R. 3327. To participate in this Call to Action click here and follow the simple steps on MHI's website. MHI wrote a letter that you can send by simply inserting your home address and clicking submit.
