    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act
is amended by adding Section 14.2 as follows:
 
    (765 ILCS 745/14.2 new)
    Sec. 14.2. Relocation plan. The Department of Public
Health shall facilitate the development of a plan to address
the relocation efforts of manufactured home or mobile home
owners who are compelled to relocate due to (i) the sale of the
manufactured home community or mobile home park in which they
live to a person or entity which will use the property for a
use other than as a manufactured home community or mobile home
park or (ii) the closure of or the cessation of the operation
of the manufactured home community or mobile home park in which
they live. The plan shall be developed in cooperation with
members of the General Assembly, manufactured home owners,
mobile home owners, manufactured home community owners, mobile
home park owners, and the respective statewide organizations
that represent manufactured home owners, mobile home owners,
manufactured home community owners, or mobile home park owners.
Both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois
Housing Development Authority will participate in this
collaborative effort by providing office space for meetings and
information on matters that arise in which the agencies have
expertise, such as issues relating to public health and options
for affordable housing, respectively. The plan shall include
provisions for the special counseling of manufactured home or
mobile home owners displaced from the manufactured home
community or mobile home park in which they live; the
relocation or shelter needs of displaced manufactured home or
mobile home owners; and the creation of a Manufactured Housing
Relocation Fund. The plan may include proposed legislation. No
later than October 1, 2011, the plan and any proposed
legislation shall be submitted to the President of the Senate,
the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and the House Minority Leader.
