The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee advanced a mobile-home rent stabilization bill on a recorded 6-4 vote Thursday, according to the committee’s hearing transcript.
The measure had already been narrowed in the Senate to apply only to ten mobile-home parks in Torrance, and the committee discussion centered on that limited scope. Supporters argued the bill would protect residents in a small, targeted set of parks, while opponents, including the Western Manufactured Housing Association, continued to object.
The committee chair announced the 6-4 result and said absent members would remain open, indicating the vote was recorded but not fully closed out for all members present. The transcript summary does not identify the individual ayes and noes.
The same hearing also included other housing bills, including AB 750 and AB 956, but the Torrance rent-stabilization item was the newsworthy development because it showed committee support for a geographically limited tenant-protection bill despite continuing pushback from park-owner interests.
