LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 149, as amended, Correa. Mobilehome Parks Act: permit invoice: notice. The Mobilehome Parks Act generally regulates various classifications of mobilehome and related vehicle parks, including special occupancy parks, and imposes enforcement duties on the Department of Housing and Community Development and local enforcement agencies. The act requires any person prior to operating a manufactured housing community or mobilehome park to obtain a valid permit that is issued by the enforcement agency. Existing law requires that the permit be issued and invoiced according to a method and schedule established by the department. The Mobilehome Residency Law governs tenancies in mobilehome parks, and imposes various duties on the owners of mobilehome parks and the agents and representatives authorized to act on behalf of the owners. This bill would require that the invoice for the permit to operate provide notice  that a copy  of the Mobilehome Residency Law  is available, upon request   and where it may be obtained  . Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.

Any park which was in existence on September 15, 1961, shall not be denied a permit to operate if the park complied with the law which this part supersedes. A permit to operate shall be issued for a 12-month period and invoiced according to a method and schedule established by the department.
