N.J.S.A. 32:33-1 — Findings and declaration of policy

32:33-1. Findings and declaration of policy 1. a. The compacting states find that: (1) Industrialized/modular buildings are constructed in factories in the various states and are a growing segment of the nation's affordable housing and commercial building stock. (2) The regulation of industrialized/modular buildings varies from state to state and locality, which creates confusion and burdens state and local building officials and the industrialized/modular building industry. (3) Regulation by multiple jurisdictions imposes additional costs, which are ultimately borne by the owners and users of industrialized/modular buildings, restricts market access and discourages the development and incorporation of new technologies. b. It is the policy of each of the compacting states to: (1) Provide the states which regulate the design and construction of industrialized/modular buildings with a program to coordinate and uniformly adopt and administer the states' rules and regulations for such buildings, all in a manner to assure interstate reciprocity. (2) Provide to the United States Congress assurances that would preclude the need for a voluntary preemptive federal regulatory system for modular housing, as outlined in Section 572 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, Pub.L.100-242, including development of model standards for modular housing construction, such that design and performance will insure quality, durability and safety; and will be in accordance with cost-effective energy conservation standards; all to promote the lowest total construction and operating costs over the life of such housing. L.1991,c.457,s.1.
