• It requires park owners to engage in good faith discovery procedures and negotiations with residents who engage in good faith attempts to put together a purchase offer

• It empowers the MHP Act Dispute Resolution and Enforcement Program to intervene if insufficient notice is given, or if the park owner fails to respond in good faith
• It requires park owners to engage in good faith negotiations in response to any purchase offers made or backed by a majority of residents, regardless of whether the park is listed for sale
