What California requires

The Park Manager Training Program (PMTP) was established by Senate Bill 869 (SB 869), signed September 28, 2022 (Chapter 662, Statutes of 2022). The Mobilehome and Recreational Vehicle Park Manager Training Act requires at least one designated manager per park to complete HCD-approved training and pass an online examination.

Legal references: Health and Safety Code Section 18876.1; Part 2.3.1 (commencing with Section 18876), Division 13; California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 2.3. The program is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Initial training: 6–8 hours of HCD-approved curriculum; online examination.

2

Continuing education: 2–4 hours every 2 years, followed by examination.

3

Certificate: A Certificate of Compliance or Certificate of Exemption must be posted conspicuously within the park.

Deadline & penalties: Comply by May 1, 2026, or within one year of hire date (whichever is later). Non-compliance can result in suspension of the park's permit to operate. Management has 60 days to comply after notice before civil penalties apply.
