(a) No provision contained in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation, or rule pertaining
to a mobile home park shall infringe upon the right of the mobile home owners to peaceably
assemble in an open public meeting for any lawful purpose, at reasonable times and
in a reasonable manner, in the common areas or recreational areas of the mobile home

(b) No provisions contained in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation, or rule pertaining
to a mobile home park shall infringe upon the right of the mobile home owners or tenants
to communicate or assemble among themselves, at reasonable times and in a reasonable
manner, for the purpose of discussing any problems relative to the mobile home park.
The discussions may be held in the common areas or recreational areas of the park,
including halls or centers, or in any resident's home. In addition, the park owner
or developer may not unreasonably restrict the use of any facility, including the
use of utilities, when requested. Written notice must be provided to the mobile home
park management and/or owner of the time and place for the assembly. The assembly
shall be open to all park residents.
(c) No provision contained in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation, or rule pertaining
to a mobile home park shall prohibit any mobile home owner of the mobile home park
from canvassing mobile home owners of the mobile home park for the purposes described
in this subsection. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "canvassing� includes
an oral or written request; the distribution, circulation, posting, or publication
of a notice; or a general announcement requesting the payment of membership dues or
other matters relevant to the membership, federation, or organization. Canvassing
shall be done at a reasonable time or times and in a reasonable manner. It is the
intent of the legislature, through the enactment of this subsection, to prohibit any
owner, developer, or manager of a mobile and manufactured home park from prohibiting
free communication among mobile home owners or tenants in the guise of regulations
or rules restricting or limiting canvassing for association, federation, or organization
dues or other association, federation, or organization matters.
