Committee agrees to draft county resolution backing Senate Bill 1027, which would extend protections for manufactured-home residents

Committee members discussed a constituent request to endorse Senate Bill 1027, which had been voted down and is expected to be reintroduced. A member summarized the provisions attributed to the bill: notification to residents when a park is offered for sale, a 60-day period for residents to make an offer, a 12-month notice before closures or change-of-use, and limits on fee or rent increases. "It gives residents of manufactured home communities some more security," a committee member said during the discussion.
