Section 19-7-5.02.8.1 - Safeguarding the Public Interest

A retailer or developer may be required to demonstrate to the Commissioner that he has a good general knowledge of and will comply with the requirements of the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, (42 U.S.C.S. 5401 et seq.), as amended, and as amended by the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Department of Insurance for the State of Mississippi and by the Department of Housing and Urban Development as they pertain to the responsibilities of a retailer to properly safeguard the public interest. No retailer or developer shall make use of transportation affecting interstate or foreign commerce or the mails to sell, lease, or offer for sale or lease in the State of Mississippi any Factory-Built home not in conformity with the aforesaid standards unless the developer or retailer, acting as a reasonable developer or retailer, does not know that the Factory-Built home does not conform to applicable standards. This prohibition of sale applies to any affected Factory-Built homes until the completion of the entire sales transaction. A sales transaction with a purchaser is considered completed when all the goods and services, that the retailer has agreed to provide at the time the contract was entered into, have been provided. Completion of a retail sale will be at the time the retailer completes setup of the Factory-Built home if the retailer has agreed to provide setup. If the retailer has not agreed to transport or setup the Factory-Built home, this prohibition of sale does not apply.
