18613.5
. The Department of Housing and Community Development, with
the review and advice of the Seismic Safety Commission, shall adopt
such rules and regulations as are necessary to ensure that purchasers
of all manufactured homes and mobilehomes installed for human
occupancy pursuant to Section 18613 are offered earthquake resistant
bracing systems which meet generally accepted seismic safety
standards for the reduction of damage and for the protection of the
health and safety of the occupants. Such rules and regulations also
shall include provisions for establishing a process and a fee
schedule for the design review and certification by the department.
To the extent practical, the department shall be responsible for
notifying owners of existing licensed manufactured homes and
mobilehomes that a certification process has been established so that
when considering purchase of a bracing system the owners can
determine if the product or system is certified by the department.
The fees established by the department shall be sufficient to pay
for the development of the design criteria and standards and the
costs for the design review and certification of the products or
systems.
