Research notes

Strongest substantive statewide municipal preemption in Kansas. Distinction matters: pre-1976 'mobile homes' may still be excluded; post-1976 HUD-Code manufactured homes generally may not. Local authority retained for manufactured-home parks (park-specific zoning) as distinct from individual units on owned lots. Subsection lettering has shifted across recodifications — confirm current subsection (h) before citation in litigation.
