Section 25-23.7-5-1 - Licensing requirement; political subdivision's powers; licensing exemptions(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), an individual may not install a manufactured home without first obtaining from the board a license authorizing the individual to install a manufactured home. A political subdivision may not require a licensee to submit to any other form of licensing except for that required by a political subdivision for onsite electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems installation. However, this article does not limit the power of a political subdivision to regulate the quality and character of work performed by a licensee through the enforcement of building codes or conducting inspections.(b) An individual acting at all times at the direction and under the supervision of a licensed installer need not be licensed in order to install a manufactured home. A licensee is fully responsible for all installation work performed under the licensee's direction or supervision.(c) This section does not prohibit: (1) a manufactured housing community owner;(2) a manufactured housing community manager; or(3) the employees of a person described in subdivision (1) or (2); from providing maintenance to an installation if that maintenance does not otherwise require a license by a political subdivision for onsite electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems installation.
