relating to housing.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 984, Correa.  Mobilehomes and manufactured housing:
registration decals.
   The Mobilehomes-Manufactured Housing Act of 1980 requires the
Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development,
after consultation with county assessors, to prescribe a registration
decal for manufactured homes and mobilehomes that clearly indicates
whether the home is subject to annual registration with the
department or is subject to local property taxation.  The decal is
also required to have provisions for indicating the current status of
any registration fee.
   This bill would delete this requirement that the decal have
provisions for indicating the current status of any registration fee.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 18092 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   18092.  (a) Every manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach,
truck camper, or floating home subject to registration shall be
issued a registration decal.  The design of the decal shall be
determined by the director and the decal shall be issued by the
department.  The decal shall be at least 21/2 inches high and 21/2
inches wide.
   (b) The decals shall be applied to the outside of the mobilehome
or commercial coach in a location within 15 inches of the lower front
right-hand side which is clearly visible and these decals shall be
maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible.  The decals
shall be applied to the lower rear left-hand side of the truck
camper.
   For a floating home, the decal shall be applied in an area six
inches from the main entry door on the side opposite the hinged side
of the door at a point not less than two feet from either the top or
bottom of the door and on the outside surface.
   (c) The director, after consultation with county assessors, shall
prescribe a registration decal for manufactured homes and mobilehomes
subject to registration which clearly indicates, by color or
otherwise, whether or not the manufactured home or mobilehome is
subject to annual registration with the department or is subject to
local property taxation.
