Senate Bill 920, Dunn (Chapter 437, 2001 Statutes)  requires the management of a master-meter mobilehome park to give written notice by February 1 to residents in their utility billing statements about assistance to low-income persons for utility costs under the CARE program. 

SB 920 allowed the park management to accept and help process the CARE applications from residents.

SB 920 prohibited park management from denying a homeowner or resident any park information, including a utility account number necessary to independently establish eligibility for the program.

Finally, the bill required park management to pass through the full amount of the CARE program discount in monthly utility billings to homeowners and residents who have qualified for the program. Management is required to notice the discount on the billing statements of any homeowner or resident who has qualified for the CARE rate schedule as either the itemized amount of the discount, or a notation on the statement that the homeowner or resident is receiving the CARE discount on the electric bill, gas bill, or both the electric and gas bills. WMA has developed a CARE program notification form that members may purchase.
