ASSEMBLY BILL 1173 (HAYNES – 2003)

CHAPTER 132, STATUTES OF 2003, AB 1173

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

As enacted Assembly Bill 1173 was a single section bill that only amended Civil Code section 798.21.  (See Exhibit # 1d)  Assembly member Haynes introduced this measure, pertaining to mobilehome rent control exemptions, on behalf of the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association, on February 21, 2003.  (See Exhibits #1a, and #9, page 1)

Assembly Bill 1173 was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development and the Senate Committee on Judiciary where policy issues raised by the bill were considered.  (See Exhibits #3 and #7)    Three amendments were made to Assembly Bill 1173 during the legislative process.  (See Exhibits #1b through #1d and #2)  Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Gray Davis signed the bill on July 27, 2003 and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on July 28th as Chapter 132 of the Statutes of 2003.  (See Exhibit #1e)

The Concurrence in Senate Amendments analysis by the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development described Assembly Bill 1173, as last amended on July 1, 2003, as follows:

…Requires that a mobilehome that is being sold by the homeowner and is subject to a local rent control ordinance shall remain under that ordinance only if the homeowner's principal residence is not out of state or they are advertising the mobilehome as for sale in good faith to bona fide purchasers.
(See Exhibit #11, page 1)
