Key Takeaways

  • Authorizes the Attorney General to handle up to 25 severe mobilehome park violations annually.
  • Extends the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program through January 1, 2030.
  • Requires park management to pay a $10 annual fee per lot to fund enforcement activities.
  • Mandates a $250 penalty when park management fails to provide requested documents within 15 days.

Summary

Assembly Member Ahrens, joined by principal coauthors Assembly Member Krell and Senator Umberg, proposes expanding the Attorney General's role in California's Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program through amendments that establish new enforcement mechanisms for severe violations of mobilehome park regulations.

The legislation authorizes the Department of Housing and Community Development to refer up to 25 of the most severe Mobilehome Residency Law violations annually to the Attorney General's office for enforcement action. The Attorney General may then pursue arbitration, mediation, negotiation, or judicial remedies in these cases, with funding provided through the existing Mobilehome Dispute Resolution Fund. Park management must provide requested documentation within 15 business days or face a $250 penalty per instance of noncompliance.

The bill maintains the current $10 annual registration fee per mobilehome lot, which management may pass through to residents as a separate line item. Annual reporting requirements now include tracking of Attorney General expenditures and referrals. The amendments extend the program's sunset date from January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2030, allowing additional time to evaluate these enhanced enforcement provisions.
