This week, MHI met with senior House Financial Services Committee staff to discuss the impact that the SAFE Act is having on the manufactured housing industry. During the meeting, a legislative clarification from the SAFE Act for manufactured housing retailers and salespersons was discussed, as well as the negative impact the law is having on personal property lenders. As previously reported, Rep. Donnelly (D-IN) has agreed to introduce legislation that would seek to clarify the applicability of the SAFE Act on our industry, and MHI is currently working on drafting legislation which should be introduced as soon as Congress returns from its two week recess.
