Requires dealers of manufactured homes and community-based manufactured homes to be licensed in this State for the purpose of selling manufactured homes or park models (rather than only manufactured homes). Provides that an application for a manufactured home dealer's license, when the applicant is selling 5 or more (rather than less than 5) used manufactured homes or park models during the calendar year, shall be accompanied by a $1,000 license fee for the applicant's established place of business, and $100 for each additional place of business, if any, to which the application pertains. Provides that an application for a community-based manufactured home dealer's license, when the applicant is selling 5 or more (rather than less than 5) manufactured homes during the calendar year not on behalf of a manufacturer of manufactured homes, but within a community setting, shall be accompanied by a license fee of $500 for the applicant's established place of business, and $50 for each additional place of business, if any to which the application pertains. Provides that monies received by the Secretary of State as license fees for issuance of manufactured home dealer's licenses and community-based manufactured home dealer's licenses shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund and the Motor Vehicle License Plate Fund of the State treasury.
