Existing law, the Manufactured Housing Act of 1980, requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to enforce various laws pertaining to the structural, fire safety, plumbing, heat-producing, or electrical systems and installations or equipment of a manufactured home, mobilehome, special purpose commercial coach, or commercial coach. The Manufactured Housing Act defines park trailer, also known as a recreational vehicle, as a trailer designed for human habitation for recreational or seasonal use only, that meets specified requirements, and imposes certain design and safety requirements on park trailers. The act requires a recreational vehicle that is offered for sale, sold, rented, or leased within the state to bear a label or an insignia indicating the manufacturer's compliance with specified standards. Under existing law, it is a misdemeanor for any person to knowingly remove or cause to be removed, among other prohibited acts, that label, insignia, or insignia of approval affixed on the recreational vehicle.
This bill would redefine a park trailer as a trailer designed for human habitation for recreational, seasonal, or other use that meets specified requirements. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill 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.
