Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill SB 746 clarify that manufactured home residents have a right to purchase their community before it is sold, ensuring that any sale terms don't unfairly favor outside buyers. Additionally, the bill specifies that community owners must notify residents and relevant authorities about a potential sale at least 90 days in advance, including details about the price and terms. This change is important because it empowers residents and ensures they have a fair chance to buy their community, which can help protect their homes and maintain stability in their living environments.
