Background:
Until 1990 mobile homes were regulated by two state agencies, the Department of Licensing (DOL) and the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). The DOL regulated the titling of mobile homes, while the L&I's duties included enforcement of the building code.
In 1990 all duties related to mobile homes were transferred to the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (DCTED). The DCTED fulfilled this duty by contracting with the DOL and the L&I to continue to provide their respective services.
In 2007 the responsibility for mobile home functions being performed by the DCTED were transferred back to the L&I.
The DCTED continues to administer mobile home titling functions by contracting with the DOL for the service.
Summary:
The law transferring titling functions for mobile homes from the DOL to DCTED is repealed.
