Overview
This bill aims to strengthen protections for mobilehome residents by establishing a Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program overseen by the Attorney General. It requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to prioritize and refer the most serious violations of the Mobilehome Residency Law to the Attorney General for potential legal action. The bill also mandates the referral of certain other violations, like mobilehome park conversion or closure issues, and local ordinances to nonprofit legal services providers, and shifts the department’s contracting process to a grant-based system for these providers. Finally, it extends the repeal date of existing provisions related to the program.
Key provisions
- The Department of Housing and Community Development must refer up to 25 of the most severe violations of the Mobilehome Residency Law to the Attorney General annually.
- The Attorney General can pursue legal remedies for referred violations.
- Alleged violations of mobilehome park conversion/closure laws and local ordinances must be referred to a nonprofit legal services provider within 5 days.
- The Department will transition to a grant program for nonprofit legal services providers to handle enforcement actions.
- Nonprofit legal services providers must meet specific requirements to receive grants.
- The Department must include information about Attorney General referrals and complaint allegations in its annual report.
- The annual registration fee for mobilehome parks will be used to fund the program.
