Summary

HB435 lets the Alabama Department of Revenue issue titles for manufactured homes from 1999 and earlier to current owners upon request, with some technical code updates.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 32-20-21 to authorize the Department of Revenue to issue certificates of title for manufactured homes that are model year 1999 or earlier, but only when a current owner requests it.

The act becomes effective January 1, 2027.

• Alabama Department of Revenue: gains authority to issue titles for these older manufactured homes upon owner request.

Key Provisions

• Authorizes the Alabama Department of Revenue to issue certificates of title to current owners of manufactured homes model year 1999 and earlier upon request.
• Maintains existing prohibitions on issuing titles in certain other listed situations (e.g., government ownership, dealer-held-for-sale, nonresidents, modular homes, certain fixed-to-property scenarios).
• Effective date: January 1, 2027.
• Includes nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update code language to current style.
