CONTENT
Senate Bill 544 would amend the Mobile Home Commission Act to do all of the following:
-- Prohibit a municipality from charging a manufactured home park more than it charged other customers for the same type of water and sewer services.
-- Revise the membership of the Commission.
-- Include a "manufactured home" as defined in Federal law in the Act's definition.
The bill also would rename the Act the "Manufactured Housing Commission Act" and refer throughout the Act to a "manufactured home" rather than a "mobile home", a "manufactured home park" rather than a "mobile home park", and the "manufactured housing commission" rather than the "mobile home commission".
The revised Commission membership would include local elected officials representing a county, a township, and a village; a local elected official representing a school board or a municipal planner; a member of a park residents association; a park resident who also would represent organized labor; three operators of licensed manufactured home parks; a manufacturer of manufactured homes; a manufactured home servicer or installer; and a representative of financial institutions.
Senate Bills 545 through 552 (S-1) would amend various statutes to change references from "mobile home" to "manufactured home"; from "mobile home park" to "manufactured home park"; and from "mobile home commission" to "manufactured housing commission". The bills are tie-barred to Senate Bill 544.
Senate Bill 545 would amend the State Housing Development Authority Act; Senate Bill 546 (S-1) would amend the Use Tax Act; Senate Bill 547 (S-1) would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code; Senate Bill 548 would amend the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act; Senate Bill 549 would amend the general usury Act; Senate Bill 550 would amend the Uniform Commercial Code; Senate Bill 551 would amend the Condominium Act; and Senate Bill 552 (S-1) would amend the Revised Judicature Act.
