SF1450 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Manufactured home park transfer of ownership or control to a private equity company attorney general notice and approval requirement
AI Generated Summary
The bill S.F. No. 1450 mandates that any transfer of ownership or control of a manufactured home park to a private equity company must first receive approval from the Attorney General of Minnesota. The private equity company must provide extensive information about its structure, operations, and history, including details on financial management, legal compliance, and potential impacts on residents' rent and park conditions. The Attorney General will review the proposed transfer to ensure it does not negatively affect the health, safety, or economic well-being of the park's residents. The approval process includes an extensive investigation of the private equity firm's history and capabilities, and if any concerns arise, the transfer can be denied. Additionally, the bill outlines requirements for ongoing reporting and oversight post-acquisition to ensure continued compliance and protection for residents. The Attorney General is also tasked with conducting a broader investigation into the impact of such acquisitions on residents and the state, with findings to be reported to relevant legislative committees.
