Today I participated with the leaders of the City of Inkster in fighting for
legislation to ensure health and safety of residents allow local units of
government to create inspection programs for mobile/manufactured homes. Sponsored by Rep. Constan (D-Dearborn Heights),
the bill would allow locals to create programs and regulate and inspect mobile
homes (like they can with rental propertoes).
An amendment was also going to be offered to ensure that this trumps the
Mobile Home Commission. The industry, as
expected, objected. They didn’t like the
local control, said the locals will expand their authority beyond safety
inspections, and said that the state should do the inspections. The bill will be considered and likely passed
through committee next week. Thanks, Rep. Constan for fighting for your
community and for all communities to ensure proper inspections for residents of
Michigan!
