- All modular building units manufactured in this state, or intended to be offered for sale, sold, or installed in this state, shall be inspected by the commissioner, the commissioner's designee, or an approved inspection agency, at the place of manufacture of the modular building unit.

- No local standard relating to the construction or installation of modular building units shall be applicable to any modular building unit subject to this part, unless such standard is identical to that set by the commissioner pursuant to § 68-126-302.
- Any modular building unit bearing an insignia of approval issued by the commissioner, the commissioner's designee, or an approved inspection agency pursuant to this part, shall be deemed to comply with any local standard relating to the construction of modular building units.
