Summary

This Act requires that if a home owner association has made an offer under this section and 2 years have passed since the community owner first provided notice of the decision to sell, transfer, or convey the manufactured home community, the notice and right of first offer process in this section must start again before an ownership interest in the community can be sold, transferred, or conveyed. This Act also allows the home owner association to make a counter offer any time a third party makes an offer higher than the alternative price offered by the home owner association.
