FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
The Department of Revenue (DOR) assumes they would not be fiscally impacted by this proposal.
The Department of Economic Development (DED) assumes the department of manufactured housing collects fees for RV manufacturing and dealer registration, plan review and approval, and Missouri seals. The DED estimates a loss of revenue of approximately $265,000 annually.
The DED assumes this proposal would result in any significant reduction in their workload.
According to the Manufactured Housing department budget documents, recreational vehicle dealers make up 12% of the entities regulated. Accordingly, Oversight assumes the Manufactured Housing department would have a corresponding reduction of duties. The FY 1999 budget for the department is approximately $450,000. Therefore, Oversight assumes an annual savings of $54,000.

DESCRIPTION
This act removes recreational vehicles from many of the regulations of Chapter 700, the chapter governing manufactured housing. The act also prohibits manufacturers from selling recreational vehicles and park trailers that are not manufactured in compliance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). No state agency nor municipality may require a recreational vehicle or park trailer to comply with any codes or inspection programs other than those established by ANSI.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
