HB 1997: Manufactured/mobile homes

Concerning manufactured/mobile homes.

Summary

  • Authorizes manufactured/mobile home park tenants seeking relocation assistance from the Relocation Assistance Program to receive other funding for relocation purposes without reducing their eligibility for relocation assistance funds.
  • Authorizes qualifying manufactured/mobile home park tenants to use Relocation Assistance Program funds to secure housing that is not a manufactured home.
  • Requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to distribute, for each eligible tenant, up to 40 percent of the total financial assistance as cash assistance to help the tenant secure new housing and the remainder as reimbursement for costs associated with relocation.
  • Modifies the fee on manufactured home transactions so the fee is 0.25 percent of the sale price of the manufactured home, but in no case less than $100 or greater than $500.
  • Creates the Relocation Coordination Program in Commerce to assist tenants of a mobile home park scheduled for closure or conversion to another use.
  • Increases the annual registration assessment a manufactured/mobile home park landlord is required to pay per manufactured/mobile home from $10 to $15 and requires the additional $5 be used only for the Relocation Coordination Program.
