HB 6003 Summary

• Changes licensing requirement from "operate" to "own" a mobile home park, establishing that unlicensed owners must be notified and given opportunity to apply before fines are levied.

• Requires license applicants to demonstrate integrity, reputation, business probity, financial ability, and experience, with "lack of business probity" specifically including excessive rent increase history in Michigan or other states.

• Establishes a 60-day deadline for the department to issue licenses after receiving complete applications, rather than issuing them only when all requirements are met.

• Removes previous subsection (2) requirements for the Mobile Home Commission to promulgate rules regarding distressed parks and financial assurance posting by owners.

• Renumbers existing fee and renewal provisions, maintaining $225 base fee for mobile home parks plus $3 per site over 25, and $120 base fee for seasonal parks plus $1.50 per site over 25.
