Bill > AB925

This bill increases emergency preparedness requirements for mobilehome parks, primarily focusing on parks with 50 or more units. The bill raises the annual per-lot inspection fee from $4 to $10 until January 1, 2030, to fund park and mobilehome inspections. Starting January 1, 2027, mobilehome parks will be required to have a person available who knows the emergency preparedness plan and has access to utility systems, fire hydrants, and park entrances/exits. Parks must adopt a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan before obtaining or renewing their operating permit, which must include detailed elements such as identifying entry/exit points, designating emergency response agents, confirming fire hydrant and gas system functionality, and providing annual resident notifications about the plan. The bill mandates that parks post their emergency plans in accessible areas and distribute information to residents in multiple languages. Enforcement agencies will review these plans during permit applications and inspections, with violations requiring correction within 60 days or risking permit denial and potential penalties. If violations are not addressed, park management must make a written statement under penalty of perjury. The Department of Housing and Community Development is required to publicly post these new requirements on its website by June 30, 2026.
