regulations required. Replacement of mobile manufactured home in mobile manufactured home park. Each mobile manufactured home park shall conform to the requirements of the State Building Code, the Fire Safety Code and local ordinances or
planning or zoning regulations, if any, provided an applicant for a license for a mobile
manufactured home park in existence on October 1, 1972, may, with the consent of the
Commissioner of Consumer Protection, be exempted from the provisions of sections
425.31, 425.32, 425.33, 425.51 and 425.52 of the basic or State Building Code, if such
park meets the remaining requirements for a license; and provided further, the commissioner may exempt any mobile manufactured home park from the provisions of section

construction and safety standards, as amended from time to time, shall not constitute

Provision added to this section by P.A. 07-43, re replacement of a mobile manufactured home not constituting an
expansion of a nonconforming use, has no retroactive application because there is no evidence of an intent to clarify existing
law and this action was pending at the time of passage, and Sec. 1-1(u) provides that passage of an act shall not affect any
pending action. 106 CA 1.
