SB 1144 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: penalties imposed on owners of mobile or manufactured home communities, grants for mobile homes and manufactured homes, and making an appropriation. (FE)

This bill establishes a grant program to help owners of mobile or manufactured home communities meet licensing standards and assists individual homeowners with repairs and improvements. It creates a new statute that defines key terms and authorizes a state authority to distribute funds for community compliance and home upgrades. The legislation also introduces a penalty system that imposes a $5,000 annual forfeiture on community owners who fail to meet reporting or other requirements, with unpaid penalties creating a lien on the property. All collected forfeitures are directed to fund the grant program, linking enforcement revenue directly to assistance for affected homeowners.
