Proposed California Legislation

California State Senate Bill 869 proposes to require Park management training and certification. It passed out of the Senate Housing Committee and was approved by the full Senate on May 25. It will now move on to the Assembly for approval. The bill would require any person, or person under contract, who is responsible for managing a mobilehome park to complete at least 16 hours of initial training, with at least 6 hours of follow-up training per year, including an annual end of year examination. The online training would include:

• Mobilehome Residency Law
• Rights and Responsibilities of homeowners and management
• Emergency procedures
• Communication with homeowners
• Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations
• Mobilehome titling and registration
• Applicable vehicle code provisions.

California Assembly Bill 2031 would allow representatives of mobilehome residents to also attend a meeting between residents and park management for the purpose of resolving problems, as it was intended by Civil Code 798.53. The bill would ensure residents can bring their representatives, such as an attorney, mobilehome advocate and translator, to the meeting.
