Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study
the manufactured housing industry in this state to determine
whether there is a need to provide additional remedies to
purchasers and owners of manufactured housing for latent
defects, substandard installation and breach of warranties.
Whereas, The manufactured housing industry in this state
generally offers residents of this state quality and affordable housing that would not be available otherwise; and
Whereas, Often, after the manufactured house is constructed,
delivered to the site, placed on the foundation and the owners move
in, defects appear that were not evident at the time of sale or
move in; and
Whereas, Purchasers and owners are faced with unexpected
additional expenses for repair of these defects and correcting
installation mistakes and obtaining satisfaction of warranties; and
Whereas, Purchasers and owners of manufactured housing should
have all the remedies necessary to recover the cost and expense of
making the repairs, correcting the mistakes and enforcing
warranties; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the manufactured housing industry in this state
to determine whether there is a need to provide additional remedies
to purchasers and owners of manufactured housing for latent
defects, substandard installation and breach of warranties; and, be
it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, two
thousand six, on its finding, conclusions and recommendations
together with drafts of any legislation to effectuate its
recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
