                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LICENSE REQUIRED; PENALTY (§ 36-85.19)

A. It shall be unlawful and constitute the commission of a Class 1 misdemeanor
for any manufactured home manufacturer, dealer, broker, or salesperson to be
engaged in business as such in this Commonwealth without first obtaining a
license from the Board, as provided in this chapter.
			Application for such license shall be made to the Board at such time, in such
form, and contain such information as the Board shall require, and shall be
accompanied by required fees established by the Board by regulation in
accordance with the Administrative Process Act (&#xA7; 2.2-4000 et seq.). The
Board shall levy and collect fees that are sufficient to cover the expenses for
the administration of this chapter by the Board and the Department. Such fees
may be levied and collected on a per unit sold basis, a percentage basis, an
annual per dealer basis, or a combination thereof.			In such application, the
Board shall require information relating to the matters set forth in &#xA7;
36-85.20 as grounds for refusal of a license, and information relating to other
pertinent matters consistent with safeguarding the public interest. All such
information shall be considered by the Board in determining the fitness of the
applicant to engage in the business for which the license is sought.			All
licenses that are granted shall expire, unless revoked or suspended, on the
annual anniversary of the date of issuance.			Every regulant under this chapter
shall obtain a renewal of a license for the ensuing year, by application,
accompanied by the required fee. Upon failure to renew, the license shall
automatically expire. Such license may be renewed upon payment of the prescribed
renewal fee and upon evidence satisfactory to the Board that the applicant has
not engaged in business as a manufactured home manufacturer, dealer, broker, or
salesperson after expiration of the license and is otherwise eligible for a
license under the provisions of this chapter.			Special licenses, not to exceed
ten days in duration, may be issued for each temporary place of business,
operated or proposed by the regulant, that is not contiguous to other premises
for which a license is issued. The fee for a special license shall be
established by the Board, provided that no such license shall be required for a
place of business operated by a regulant that is used exclusively for storage.

B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the Board may provide
by regulation that a manufactured home salesperson will be allowed to engage in
business during the time period after applying for a license but before such
license is granted.
