Summary:

Requires the Department of Housing and Community Development, by January 1, 2024, to adopt regulations to require each person employed or acting under contract as an onsite manager or assistant manager, or otherwise acting in an onsite or offsite managerial capacity or role, on behalf of a mobilehome park, special occupancy park, or recreational vehicle park to receive appropriate training of at least 18 hours during the initial year.

The bill is sponsored by the Golden State Manufactured-Home Owners League. SB 869 would require any person, or person under contract, who is responsible for managing a mobilehome park to complete 18 hours per year of training, including an annual end of year online examination. The training will be in an online format developed in consultation with DCA. Specifically, the training would include Mobilehome Residency Law requirements, Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, rights and responsibilities of homeowners and management, emergency procedures, communication with homeowners, mobilehome titling and registration, and applicable Vehicle Code provisions. The measure would also require a process for background checks.

The Senator's press release is available here.

Staff of the Department of Conservation and Development recommend a position of support.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER finding SB 869 (Leyva) consistent with the Board of Supervisors' adopted 2021-22 State Platform, enabling a letter of support from the Chair of the Board to be sent.
