Permitting newly constructed manufactured homes in all residentially zoned areas in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire HB1357 allows newly constructed manufactured homes to be placed in all residentially zoned areas by right. This bill defines "manufactured housing" and "new manufactured home" and ensures these homes meet federal safety standards. It prohibits municipalities from imposing unreasonable restrictions on these homes and mandates that zoning ordinances be amended to permit them within one year. The bill aims to alleviate the state's housing shortage and support homeownership.
