As Filed


DIGEST 

Currently, if a mobile home park is developed in a tract that was
previously set as a whole tract without subdividing from a larger tract,
then a subdivision plat could not be required.  Platting is needed to
ensure that the ultimate residents in the mobile home park have adequate
access, proper utilities, and other health and safety assurances.  S.B. 712
would repeal requirements regarding manufactured home rental communities to
comply with county subdivision regulations. 

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 712 repeals requirements regarding manufactured home
rental communities to comply with county subdivision regulations. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
