	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 149, as amended, Correa. Mobilehome Parks Act: permit invoice:
notice.
   The Mobilehome Parks Act generally regulates various
classifications of mobilehome and related vehicle parks, including
special occupancy parks, and imposes enforcement duties on the
Department of Housing and Community Development and local enforcement
agencies. The act requires any person prior to operating a
manufactured housing community or mobilehome park to obtain a valid
permit that is issued by the enforcement agency. Existing law
requires that the permit be issued and invoiced according to a method
and schedule established by the department.
   The Mobilehome Residency Law governs tenancies in mobilehome
parks, and imposes various duties on the owners of mobilehome parks
and the agents and representatives authorized to act on behalf of the
owners.
   This bill would require that the invoice for the permit to operate
provide notice  that a copy  of the Mobilehome
Residency Law  is available, upon request   and
where it may be obtained  .
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 18506 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   18506.  A permit to operate shall be issued by the enforcement
agency. A copy of each permit to operate shall be forwarded to the
department. A permit to operate shall not be issued for a park when
the previous operating permit has been suspended by the enforcement
agency until the violations which were the basis for the suspension
have been corrected. Any park which was in existence on September 15,
1961, shall not be denied a permit to operate if the park complied
with the law which this part supersedes. A permit to operate shall be
issued for a 12-month period and invoiced according to a method and
schedule established by the department. The invoice shall provide
notice  that a copy  of the Mobilehome Residency Law
(Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 798) of Title 2 of Part 2 of
Division 2 of the Civil Code)  is available, upon request
  and where it may be obtained  . Any permit
application returned to the enforcement agency 30 days after the due
date shall be subject to a penalty fee equal to 10 percent of the
established fee. The penalty fee for submitting a permit application
60 or more days after the due date shall equal 100 percent of the
established permit fee. The penalty and the established permit fee
shall be paid prior to issuance of the permit, and the fee and 100
percent penalty shall be due upon demand of the enforcement agency
for any park which has not applied for a permit.
