Bill > HB193

This bill amends the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund (DMHRA) by removing the existing $15 million cap on the fund, allowing the Board to establish and adjust the cap based on the costs necessary to carry out the fund's purposes. The bill changes the monthly assessment for each rented lot in a manufactured home community, with both tenants and landlords continuing to split the assessment equally. Specifically, starting January 1, 2026, the landlord portion of the monthly assessment will be increased to $1.50 per rented lot, and $1.50 of the tenant portion will be redirected to the Delaware Manufactured Home Owner Attorney Fund (previously it was 50 cents). This change aims to provide more financial flexibility for the trust fund and potentially increase resources for legal support for manufactured home owners. The bill maintains the fund's existing structure while updating its financial mechanisms, and is set to take effect on the date of enactment.
