Mobilehomes: enforcement actions: sunset provision.

The Mobilehome Parks Act requires the Department of Housing and Community Development or a city, county, or city and county that assumes responsibility for the enforcement of the act to enter and inspect mobilehome parks with a goal of inspecting at least 5% of the parks each year to ensure enforcement of the act and implementing regulations. Existing law also requires an enforcement agency to issue notice to correct a violation and provides for procedures for owners or operators to dispute and appeal violation notices, as specified. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2019. A violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would extend the repeal date of these provisions to January 1, 2024. The Mobilehome Parks Act imposes prescribed fees, including, among others, a fee of $4 per lot to be used exclusively for the inspection of mobilehome parks and mobilehomes to determine compliance with the act. Existing law repeals the $4 fee per lot on January 1, 2019. This bill would extend the repeal date of these provisions to January 1, 2024, thereby extending imposition of the $4 per lot fee until that date. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 18502 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by AB 3066 to be operative only if this bill and AB 3066 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. Because this bill would extend the application of a crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
