The bill was prefiled by St. Louis Democratic Senator Maida Coleman. Republican Representative Mike Sutherland of Warrenton voiced his support of the measure.
* Sen. Maida Coleman, D-St. Louis, and Rep. Mike Sutherland, R-Warrenton, sponsored a joint bill to increase expectations of landlords in mobile home parks. Main focuses of the bill were requiring higher safety standards and earlier notices for rent increase or eviction.
Rep. Mike Sutherland, R-Warrenton and chair of the House Senior Security Committee, said the budget could not cover the expense of these funds, which would amount to $73 million in the final year of implementation.
The bill's handler in the House, Mike Sutherland of Warren County, says the 80 million dollar pricetag of that part of the bill would have kept the safety and enforcement issues from passing:
JEFFERSON CITY - A bill filed Monday would protect 300,000 Missourians living in mobile homes from short-notice evictions and would help them form associations. Sen. Maida Coleman (D-St. Louis) and Rep. Mike Sutherland (R-Warrenton) both support the bill.
