Bill > S715

This bill establishes a Manufactured Housing Commission composed of five members, including residents and owners of manufactured housing communities, and attorneys with relevant experience, to address disputes and oversee regulations. It also creates a Manufactured Housing Trust Fund, funded by licensing revenues, to support a dispute resolution program and the receivership of manufactured housing communities. The bill introduces new licensing requirements for manufactured housing communities, mandating inspections and certifications related to water and sewage systems, and clarifies rules regarding community regulations and lease terms. Furthermore, it outlines a dispute resolution process involving mediation and hearings by the commission, with provisions for enforcement and appeal, and prohibits the passing of dispute resolution costs onto residents.
