Bill > S2419

This bill establishes a new Manufactured Housing Commission with five members, including residents and owners of manufactured housing communities, and legal experts, to oversee manufactured housing communities and resolve disputes. It also creates a Manufactured Housing Trust Fund, funded by licensing fees, to support this dispute resolution program and the commission's compensation. The bill clarifies that certain licensing fees cannot be passed on to residents, and it modifies the process for community owners to change or amend rules, requiring review by the Attorney General and the Director of Housing and Community Development. Additionally, it introduces a formal dispute resolution program managed by the Attorney General and the Commission, allowing for mediation and hearings to address violations of manufactured housing laws, with decisions subject to judicial review.
