N.D. Admin. Code 108-02-01-01
The fifty-seventh legislative assembly, in House Bill No. 1210, directed the division of community services to develop rules to certify third-party inspection agencies and to develop procedures for these agencies to follow in inspecting the construction of modular residential and commercial structures built in a factory. To implement this program, the division of community services has elected to become a "participating state" under the industrialized buildings commission. In 2011, the sixty-second legislative assembly passed Senate Bill No. 2284 enacting the interstate compact on industrialized or modular buildings becoming a "compacting state" which is codified as North Dakota Century Code chapter 54-21.4. The industrialized buildings commission provides for the certification of third-party agencies and the procedures for these agencies to follow in assuring that industrialized modular buildings are designed, manufactured, handled, stored, delivered, and installed according to adopted state construction standards. In 2011, the sixty-second legislative assembly, in Senate Bill No. 2366, amended North Dakota Century Code section 54-21.3-07 to make the law mandatory for manufacturers producing two or more modular residential and commercial structures per year. In 2003, the fifty-eighth legislative assembly, in House Bill No. 1345 amended North Dakota Century Code section 54-21.3-03, requiring that modular residential structures or prebuilt homes placed in the state must be constructed in compliance with the state building code and amendments to the state building code adopted by the jurisdictions in which the modular residential structure or prebuilt home is placed.
