A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4878 AS INTRODUCED 6-24-03

         The bill would amend the Mobile Home Commission Act to revise the commission’s membership.  The 11-member commission currently contains one elected official from local government and one representative of organized labor.  Under the bill there would be two elected local government officials, and the separate organized labor representative would be deleted.  The commission currently, however, contains two resident members, one from a licensed mobile home park with 100 or more sites and one from a smaller park.  The bill would specify that one of those resident members would also have to be a representative of organized labor.

         (The commission membership currently consists of a representative from an organization representing mobile home residents; a representative of financial institutions; three operators of mobile home parks, two from parks with 100 or more sites and one from a park with fewer than 100 sites; a representative of organized labor; an elected official of a local government; a licensed mobile home dealer; two residents of mobile home parks, one from a park with 100 or more sites and one from a park with fewer than 100 sites; and a manufacturer of mobile homes.)
