What information can the department disclose upon receiving a written request?

The information that the department can disclose upon receiving a written request includes details about a dealer's license status, which encompasses the names of principals associated with the dealer and any reasons for termination of the license. This is vital because it provides transparency regarding the legitimacy and compliance of the dealer within the manufactured housing industry. Consumers and other stakeholders can assess the dealer's standing and any issues that may have led to their license being terminated.

In contrast, while sales history, financial statements, and inspection reports may contain relevant information, they typically involve privacy considerations and proprietary information, which may not be disclosed freely under most regulations. These protections are in place to maintain confidentiality and to protect the sensitive business information of the dealers.
