  7 10                           EXPLANATION
  7 11    The bill deals with the treatment of transactions involving
  7 12 manufactured housing under the state sales and use taxes.
  7 13 Manufactured housing is a factory-built structure constructed
  7 14 under federal standards on or after June 15, 1976, which is
  7 15 required to display a seal from the U.S. department of housing
  7 16 and urban development.  The bill specifically states that
  7 17 manufactured housing is subject only to a certificate of title
  7 18 which is its present status.  The bill provides that the sale
  7 19 of manufactured housing for use in this state is subject to
  7 20 the state use tax.  The 5 percent use tax rate is applied to
  7 21 the purchase price of the manufactured housing if sold in the
  7 22 form of tangible personal property or is applied to the
  7 23 installed purchase price if sold in the form of realty.
  7 24 Installed purchase price includes the charge for installing a
  7 25 foundation and electrical and plumbing hookups in addition to
  7 26 the purchase price.  There is an exemption for 40 percent of
  7 27 the purchase price or installed purchase price which is not
  7 28 attributable to costs of the tangible personal property, e.g.
  7 29 labor costs.  In addition, the use tax is to be paid to the
  7 30 county treasurer or the state department of transportation
  7 31 from whom the certificate of title was obtained.
