Plain-language summary
This bill changes the rules about where manufactured homes can be placed in Kentucky by requiring local governments to treat them the same as traditional single-family homes in their zoning rules. Local governments would still be allowed to regulate certain architectural features of manufactured homes, but only if those same standards also apply to single-family homes. If a standard-sized manufactured home cannot fit on a lot, a smaller one may be allowed instead. Who it may affect: people seeking affordable homeownership through manufactured housing, landowners, and local governments that currently have separate zoning rules for manufactured homes.
