ADVISORY COMMISSION ON
INDUSTRIALIZED BUILDING
AND MOBILE HOMES
Chairman: Arnold M. Kronstadt
2525 Riva Road,
Annapolis 21401 Telephone: 269-3161
The Advisory Commission on Industrial-
ized Building and Mobile Homes was cre-
ated by Chapter 662, Acts of 1971, to make
recommendations to the Secretary of the
Department of Economic and Community
Development concerning the promulgation
and enforcement of rules and regulations
prescribing standards for industrialized
building units and mobile homes. The same
Act provided for the inspection of the man-
ufacturing facilities and the assemblies being
produced. The Commission consists of fif-
teen members appointed by the Secretary of
the Department of Economic and Commu-
nity Development and serve at his pleasure.
Members serve three-year terms. Those in-
cluded on the Commission consist of repre-
sentatives of industries and professions
involved in the development and construc-
tion of industrialized buildings and mobile
homes, those selected from building code
enforcement agencies, architectural and en-
gineering associations, building construction
trades, the contracting and manufacturing
industry, legislative bodies of local govern-
ment, the financial industry and the general
public. The Commission submits an annual
report to the Secretary and the General
Assembly regarding rules, regulations and
programs relating to the Industrialized
Building and Mobile Homes Acts of 1971.
The new HUD Mobile Standard which be-
came effective on June 15, 1976 will super-
sede the Maryland standard for mobile
homes, but the Commission may still make
recommendations. These would be submit-
ted to HUD for consideration (Code 1957.
1971 Repl. Vol., 1975 Supp., Art. 41, sees.
266 EE 1-4, 7, 8).

Originally known as the Maryland Com-

Commission was created by Chapter 435,
Acts of 1969, and consisted of seven recog-
nized authorities on Afro-American history
and culture appointed by the Governor and

dated December 27, 1971, the Commission
was assigned to Morgan State College. The
Commission was re-assigned to the Depart-
ment of Economic and Community Devel-
opment and its name changed to the
Commission on Afro-American and Indian

of 1974. Chapter 120, Acts of 1976, cre-
ated the single purpose Commission on
Afro-American History and Culture as a

members appointed by the Governor. The
Governor designates both the Chairman and

an independent agency within the State

vides exhibits and resource materials to the
community-at-large and local educational
systems and institutions within the state.
The Commission has given leadership in
the area of historical preservation of land-
marks and sites related to black history in
