(a)Except as provided in subsection (b), any mobile home which is occupied or inhabited by any person as a dwelling, office or commercial space shall be secured to the ground by tie downs and ground anchors, of a type which has been approved by the secretary pursuant to K.S.A. 75-1229 , unless such mobile home is secured to the ground on a permanent foundation. Any such mobile home which is not secured to a permanent foundation shall be placed upon piers in the manner prescribed by this act.

(b)Any mobile home secured with tie down devices and ground anchors which were installed prior to the effective date of this act shall be deemed to be in compliance with this act if such tie down devices were placed in a manner similar to that prescribed herein and unless the secretary shall find such tie down devices are inadequate to anchor or secure a mobile home to the ground.
