representative roy's crème de la crème is hb800. this eleven page legislative boondoggle creates something called the louisiana modular housing act. this bureaucratic nightmare will to drive up the pricing of modular homes, hb800 promises to: to provide legislative findings; to provide for definitions; to provide for rules and regulations relative to modular housing; to provide for third-party inspectors and design review agencies; to provide for standards of construction for modular housing; to provide for enforcement of the building code; to provide for enforcement of building code amendments; to provide for design review; to provide for inspections of modular housing; to provide for decals or insignia on modules; to provide for reciprocity of modular housing; to provide for local government authority; and to provide for related matters.
those "related matters" can be found in the bill's digest "proposed law authorizes the council to establish reasonable fees to enforce proposed law." "reasonable" fees to be borne by guess who.
in these uncertain economic times that we live in and most economists agree that we are already in a recession, some predict a full blown depression, doesnt it make sense that if representative roy was really concerned with the plight of his fellow louisianaians he would be working to remove taxes, fees, rules and regulations that drive up prices and restrict commerce and industry instead of pouring more on? especially when you stop and think that a lot of us, if we're lucky, are probably going to be living in a modular home before long.
even if representative roy is concerned about unscrupulous modular home builders ripping off louisianaians, dont we already have consumer protection laws and fraud laws and misrepresentation laws like for example the unfair trade practices and consumer protection law found at La. R.S. 51:1401 already on the books? and hey what about caveat emptor?
the louisiana legislature is like a senile person. they do the exact opposite of what they are told to do, of whats expected of them - just for spite. senator edwin murray talking about his bill, sb6 to create a state cocktail was quoted as saying "we will probably have a little fun with this bill." the thing is, is that we dont send you to baton rouge to "have a little fun" we send you to baton rouge to help create a better louisiana for everyone. something that the legislature is totally deficient and incapable of doing by creating unwanted and unneeded laws and crimes and rules and regulations, taxes and fees out of thin air that make life harder for your average louisianaian, while at the same time they protect their criminal friends.
