The compacting states find that:\n(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.\n(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.\n(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.\nb.     It is the policy of each of the compacting states to:\n(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.\n(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.\nL.1991,c.457,s.1.","path":["TITLE 32 INTERSTATE AND PORT AUTHORITIES AND\t\t\t\tCOMMISSIONS"],"source_url":"https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/statutes/STATUTES-TEXT.zip","current_through":"P.L.2025, c.405, and J.R.22","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T17:54:13Z","sha256":"62c84d6831bb34cd94f921822b305dd516a23ffdc234a9b9aeedd4671f15137d","source_id":"us-nj","stale":true,"prev":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-32-32-11","next":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-32-33-2"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
