A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4536 AS INTRODUCED 3-27-01
The bill would repeal the Mobile Home Commission Act.
[Under the Mobile Home Commission Act, a special state commission is charged with establishing a mobile home code to govern, among other things, the licensure, density, layout, and construction of mobile home parks, including standards for roads, utilities, open space, proposed recreational facilities, and safety measures to protect the health, safety, and welfare of park residents. Parks require a license from the Department of Consumer and Industry Services. The act gives the regulation of water supply, sewage collection and treatment, and drainage to state health officials, and that function is carried out by the Department of Environmental Quality. The code also addresses the business, sales, and service practices of mobile home dealers, installers, and repairers; governs the setup and installation of mobile homes within parks; and regulates aspects of the business of home manufacturers and assemblers. The act contains restrictions on the mobile home ordinances of local units of government. A local unit can propose mobile home park standards higher than those found in the code, but they require the approval of the commission before local adoption.]
