The proposed bill aims to establish a board in the city of Attleboro, Massachusetts, to oversee use and occupancy payments for manufactured housing community accommodations. This board will be responsible for regulating minimum standards for the use and occupancy of these accommodations, as well as managing tenant evictions. The board will have the authority to create rules and regulations, require registration of manufactured housing park information under penalty of perjury, and impose fines of up to $5,000 for violations of any ordinances or orders issued by the board.
Additionally, the bill outlines the board's powers to adjust use and occupancy payments to ensure they are fair and accommodate the occupants of manufactured homes. It specifies factors to be considered in determining fair net operating income for manufactured housing communities, such as property tax changes and maintenance expenses. The bill also states that Chapter 30A of the General Laws will apply to the board, allowing for judicial review of its orders, and grants jurisdiction to both the district and superior courts for enforcement and review purposes. The personnel of the board will not be subject to certain provisions of the General Laws, and the act will take effect upon passage.
