                STATE OF NEW YORK
        ________________________________________________________________________
                                         6954--A
                    IN SENATE

        Introduced  by  Sen.  LITTLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction  and
          Community  Development  --  reported favorably from said committee and

        AN ACT to amend the private housing finance  law,  in  relation  to  the
          mobile and manufactured home replacement program
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. The private housing finance law is amended by adding a  new
     2  article 28 to read as follows:
     3                               ARTICLE XXVIII
     4              MOBILE AND MANUFACTURED HOME REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
     5  Section 1240. Statement of legislative findings and purpose.
     6          1241. Definitions.
     7          1242. Mobile and manufactured home replacement contracts.
     8    § 1240. Statement of legislative findings and purpose. The legislature
     9  hereby  finds and declares that there exists in New York state a serious
    10  need to eliminate older, dilapidated mobile and manufactured  homes  and
    11  replace  them  with new manufactured, modular or site-built homes. Older
    12  mobile or manufactured home units  with  rusted,  leaking  metal  roofs,
    13  metal-framed  windows  with  interior take-out storms, and metal siding,
    14  are those that most need replacement. No matter the amount of  rehabili-
    15  tation  investment, the end result is unsatisfactory in terms of longev-
    16  ity, energy efficiency  and  affordability.  The  legislature  therefore
    17  finds  that the state should establish a program to fund the replacement
    18  of mobile or manufactured homes with new affordable and energy efficient
    19  manufactured, modular or site-built homes.
    20    § 1241. Definitions. For the purposes of this  article  the  following
    21  terms shall have the following meanings:
    22    1.  "Corporation" shall mean the housing trust fund corporation estab-
    23  lished in section forty-five-a of this chapter.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD14637-04-6
