Digest

Provides that, for purposes of the Indiana department of health's enforcement of statutes governing mobile home communities, if the owner of a mobile home community is provided written notice from a water utility that the mobile home community will be disconnected from water service, the mobile home community is in violation of the mobile home community's statutory obligation to provide water as of the date on which the owner is provided the notice. Provides that the owner of the mobile home community and the Indiana department of health must receive written notice at least 30 days before the notice that the water service will be disconnected. Authorizes a court to appoint a receiver upon request by a utility providing electric, gas, water, or wastewater utility service to a mobile home community when the property owner has failed to pay: (A) invoiced utility bills for a period greater than 90 days from the due date; or (B) amounts due under a curative payment plan for a period of at least 60 days from the initial due date prescribed under the payment plan. Specifies that a comprehensive plan or ordinance adopted by a county, city, or town may not categorically preclude installation of all manufactured homes that meet specified requirements as permanent residences on a lot on which any other type of dwelling unit may be placed. Provides units may adopt standards and requirements in the comprehensive plans and ordinances that preclude manufactured homes that exceed 12 feet in width and 500 square feet of occupied space but may not preclude manufactured homes that exceed the standards and requirements in current law of 23 feet in width and 950 square feet of occupied space.
