Book excerpt: Pursuant to section 12 of chapter 33 of the 1991 Session Laws of Kansas, "[w]henever a federal manufactured home construction and safety standard established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 5401 et seq. is in effect, no state agency or political subdivision shall have any authority to establish, or to continue in effect, with respect to any manufactured home covered, any standard regarding construction or safety applicable to the same aspect of performance of such manufactured home which is not identical to the federal manufactured home construction and safety standard." Accordingly, any standard adopted by a city, including any building code provision, which contravenes the above-quoted limitation is void, and does not constitute grounds for excluding a residential design manufactured home from the city's single family residential district. Additionally, under section 19 of chapter 56 of the 1991 Session Laws of Kansas, a governing body of a city is prohibited from adopting or enforcing zoning regulations which have the effect of excluding residential design manufactured homes (as defined therein) from single family residential districts solely because they are manufactured homes.
