HB 1140-S - DIGEST
(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/5/2009)

Requires the attorney general, after receiving a complaint under chapter 59.30 RCW, to initiate the manufactured/mobile home dispute resolution program by obtaining information in an informal manner and facilitating communication between the parties with the goal of resolving the dispute.

Allows the attorney general to investigate a potential violation and issue a notice of violation or notice of nonviolation or a cease and desist order, if, during the course of a formal investigation that is based on a prior written complaint, the attorney general becomes aware of a potential violation of chapter 59.20 RCW that affects the health, safety, or welfare of the manufactured/mobile home community and the potential violation is not the subject of the written complaint.
