The bill would require the department to post each mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinance submitted pursuant to these provisions on its internet website by January 1, 2024.
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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs

(B)The department shall, by January 1, 2022, establish a standardized form for use by a city, county, or city and county that declines to adopt a mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinance. The form shall be used by the
governing body to explain its decision not to adopt the ordinance. The form shall be designed so as to require the governing board to consider all relevant factors and to elicit thoughtful analysis of those factors. The form shall be made available on the department’s internet website.
(b)Each city or county with an existing mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinance shall submit a copy of that ordinance to the department. A city or county that adopts a mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) shall submit the ordinance to the department within 30 days of adoption.
(c)The department shall post all mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinances submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) on its internet website by January 1, 2024.
(d)For purposes of this section,
“mobilehome park rent stabilization ordinance” means an ordinance that establishes the maximum rental rate increase that park management may impose under a rental agreement.
If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
