Bill > HB5159

This bill amends the Mobile Home Commission Act by making several changes, including: 1. Allowing the Department of Health and Human Services to enter into agreements with local governments to conduct inspections of mobile home parks and seasonal mobile home parks, and allowing the Department to charge reinspection fees. 2. Clarifying the process for granting variances to the mobile home code, including requiring the owner to retain records of any variances granted. 3. Requiring the Department to promulgate rules related to the training and qualifications of mobile home installers and repairers. 4. Prohibiting mobile home park owners from engaging in certain unfair or deceptive practices, such as charging entrance or exit fees, requiring residents to purchase goods or services from specific providers, or using electronic billing systems that limit tenant rights. 5. Requiring mobile home park owners to offer leases or rental agreements of at least 1 year in duration, with 30-day notice of lease expiration, and including certain required language in those agreements. This bill is tied to several other bills, so its enactment is contingent on the passage of those related bills.
