     3  follows:
     4    1.  Except in the case of factory manufactured homes, intended for use
     5  as one or two family dwelling units or multiple dwellings  of  not  more
     6  than two stories in height, the legislative body of any local government
     7  may duly enact or adopt local laws or ordinances imposing higher or more
     8  restrictive  standards  for construction within the jurisdiction of such
     9  local government than are applicable generally to such local  government

    12  legislative  body of such local government, shall so notify the council,
    13  and shall petition the council for a determination of whether such local
    14  laws  or  ordinances  are  more  stringent  than   the   standards   for
    15  construction  applicable  generally  to  such  local  government  in the
    16  uniform code. [During the period in which  the  council  is  considering
    17  such  petition,  such]  Such  local laws or ordinances shall [remain in]

    19  council as provided herein.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
