Vehicles: transportation of manufactured homes.

Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation or a local authority, upon application in writing and if good cause appears, to issue a special or annual permit for the transporting of a manufactured home that does not exceed 14 feet in total width, exclusive of lights and devices, upon any highway, as specified. Existing law prescribes specified requirements and conditions for transporting the above-described manufactured homes, and makes it unlawful for a person to violate any of the terms or conditions of the above-described permits.

This bill would remove the good cause requirement for the department or the local authority to issue the above-described permits for manufactured homes under specified conditions. The bill would clarify that a special permit is not required to move a manufactured home if the applicant has obtained an annual permit.
