CODE OF ENFORCEMENT PROBLEMS IN MOBILEHOME PARKS - The purpose of this hearing
is to take testimony on mobilehome and park enforcement complaints and ideas on

laws relating to mobilehomes and parks, including the Mobilehome Parks Act, the
Mobilehomes Manufactured Housing Act, the Mobilehome Residency Law, and numerous
other laws not unique to mobilehomes, such as Public Utility Code requirements
relating to master meter utilities and Health and Safety Code drinking water
safety standards. The Select Committee has received many complaints in recent
years alleging inadequate enforcement of a number of these laws, with problems
or violations sometimes lasting for years. Some issues have been reviewed
before but are difficult to resolve. (Stock #1185-S; $8.35 - includes tax s/h)
