Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-17 § 535-X-17-.01
Purpose
Operative Text
The purpose of this rule is to ensure that manufacturers and retailers (dealers) are licensed to sell manufactured (mobile) homes or manufactured buildings (modulars) in this state in accordance with Sections 24-5-6, 24-5-10, and 24-6-4 of the Code of Ala. 1975.
Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-17 § 535-X-17-.01 establishes the overarching purpose of Alabama's licensing framework for those who manufacture or sell manufactured (mobile) homes and modular buildings in the state. The rule ties this licensing requirement to specific sections of the Alabama Code, namely Sections 24-5-6, 24-5-10, and 24-6-4 of the Code of Ala. 1975. In effect, it signals that operating in this market without proper licensure is outside the bounds of what the state permits.
