230 R.I. Code R. 30-15-1 § 230-RICR-30-15-1 § 1.1
Authority
Operative Text
These Rules and Regulations governing mobile and manufactured homes (hereinafter referred to as the “Rules”) are adopted pursuant to the authority vested in the Director of the Department of Business Regulation of the State of Rhode Island under R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-44-1, et seq., (the “Act”).
Section 230-RICR-30-15-1 § 1.1 establishes the legal foundation for Rhode Island's rules governing mobile and manufactured homes. The Director of the Department of Business Regulation derives authority to issue and enforce these rules from R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-44-1 et seq. This provision does not itself impose requirements or restrictions but instead identifies the statutory source that gives the entire regulatory framework its legal standing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As an operator of a mobile or manufactured home community in Rhode Island, understanding that the rules you must follow under 230-RICR-30-15-1 § 1.1 flow directly from the state's Department of Business Regulation is foundational. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with both the enabling statute, R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-44-1 et seq., and the full set of Rules adopted under it, since the Director's authority shapes the scope of all subsequent regulatory requirements. Keeping current with any updates issued by the Department of Business Regulation is a standard practice for operators in this space.
