The Advisory Commission on Industrialized
Building and Mobile Homes was created in 1971
(Chapter 662, Acts of 1971). It makes recommen-
dations to the Secretary of Housing and Commu-
nity Development on the promulgation and en-
forcement of rules and regulations prescribing
standards for the construction of industrialized
building units and mobile homes. The same Act
provided for the inspection of the manufacturing
facilities and the assemblies being produced.

The Commission submits an annual report to
the Secretary regarding rules, regulations, and
programs relating to the Industrialized Building
and Mobile Homes Act of 1971.

The Commission consists of fifteen members ap-
pointed to three-year terms by the Secretary of
Housing and Community Development. The
Commission includes representatives of industries
and professions involved in the development and
construction of industrialized buildings and mo-
bile homes. Persons are selected from building
code enforcement agencies, architectural and engi-
neering associations, building construction trades,
the contracting and manufacturing industry, legis-
lative bodies of local government, the financial in-
dustry, and the public (Code 1957, Art. 41B, sees.
6-201 through 6-208).
