	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 149, as amended, Correa.  Mobilehomes.  
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.  
   Existing law, 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 make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
