Just received this...........

Effective January 1, 2010, relocatable educational facilities are regulated under Chapter 1202 of the Occupations Code relating to Industrialized Housing and Buildings. A relocatable educational facility (REF) is a building used primarily as an educational facility for teaching curriculum required by Section 28.002 of the Education Code. Section 1202.004 of the Occupations Code now requires that a REF comply with all provisions of the IHB law, even if the facility is built from the ground up at the installation site. Historically, IHB law only covered housing and buildings that were constructed at a site other than the installation site. REFs constructed in a manufacturing facility that are then moved to the installation site are already covered by the IHB law. The change to the Law now includes REFs built on site.

What I am reading is that we (AHJ'S) will no longer have the right to inspect these typres of structures even if they are built on site. Do you guys read this the same way?

Here in AZ they are exempt from permits, fees and inspections unless asked for. Then they exempt from permits and fees. This includes private schools, colleges, etc...

The local school distict sends in plans for reviews and inspections though.

There are not at this time any relocatable school buildings in town. Spent all out tax moneies on new stuff.

Mule,

Soooooo, ...who will actually be performing the inspections of these fine, ' site built ' structures now? :eek:

This is just more "smoke and mirrors ' by the legislature to allow "Bubba's Mobile Trailer Sales" to sell to

the individual school districts around the state and not have any oversight of their operations.

TX Legislators ( and their alledgedly corrupt cronies ) - 1

TX taxpayers, another " 0 " :(
