Bill > SB0937

This bill, titled "Mobile homes: other; mobile home commission act; revise," aims to amend the existing Mobile Home Commission Act by adding new provisions and modifying current ones. A key provision, introduced as Section 30m, establishes a right of first refusal for residents of mobile home parks or seasonal mobile home parks when the owner decides to sell or transfer the property. This means owners must first notify residents of their intent to sell and give residents a 60-day window to express interest in purchasing the park, potentially by forming a homeowners' association or cooperative. The bill also modifies existing sections concerning how the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (referred to as the "department" in the bill, previously the "commission") handles applications, service of process, and enforcement actions, including imposing penalties like fines, license suspension, or revocation for violations. Furthermore, it clarifies procedures for bringing legal actions against unlicensed park owners and outlines the process for appointing a receiver to manage a park if it's found to be operating without a license. The bill also includes exceptions to the resident notification requirement for certain types of sales, such as to family members or in cases of foreclosure.
