	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Cedillo

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to amend Section 18075.55 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to housing.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1289, as introduced, Cedillo. Floating homes: registration and
titling.
   The Mobilehomes-Manufactured Housing Act requires that all
floating homes, as defined, meet certain titling and registration
requirements. Existing law requires floating homes subject to real
property taxation to be subject to registration and titling by the
Department of Housing and Community Development only at the time of
sale, resale, or transfer of title.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the
provision of law relating to floating home registration and titling
requirements.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 18075.55 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   18075.55.  (a)  Floating homes subject to real property taxation

   (b)  Ownership registration and title to a floating home may be
held by two or more co-owners in the manner specified in Sections
18080 and 18081.
   (c)  Upon receipt of a registration card, every registered owner
shall maintain the card or a copy thereof with the floating home for
which it is issued.
   (d)  "Floating home," as used in this section, means a floating
