What is the timeframe for the Division to respond to petitions?

The timeframe for the Division to respond to petitions is established by regulations that aim to provide a clear and consistent process for stakeholders. A response time of 90 days allows for a thorough review of the submitted petitions, ensuring that all relevant information is considered before a decision is made.

This timeframe recognizes that the Division may need to assess complex issues or gather additional information, and it provides an adequate window for stakeholders to be informed and receive a response without undue delay. This structure is crucial in the context of manufactured housing, where timely interactions can significantly impact stakeholders, including manufacturers, dealers, and homeowners.

In practice, shorter timeframes might not accommodate the necessary review processes, while longer durations could delay service and decision-making for individuals and businesses involved in the industry. Thus, the 90-day response period is a balanced approach that supports effective governance while ensuring that all parties involved have adequate time for resolution of their petitions.
