    Sec. 14.2. Relocation plan.   The Department of Public 
Health shall facilitate the development of  a plan to address 
the relocation efforts of manufactured home or mobile home 
owners who are compelled to relocate due to (i) the sale of the 
manufactured home community or mobile home park in which they 
live to a person or entity which will use the property for a 
use other than as a manufactured home community or mobile home 
park or (ii) the closure of or the cessation of the operation 
of the manufactured home community or mobile home park in which 
they live.  The plan shall be developed in cooperation with 
members of the General Assembly, manufactured home owners, 
mobile home owners, manufactured home community owners, mobile 
home park owners, and the respective statewide organizations 
that represent manufactured home owners, mobile home owners, 
manufactured home community owners, or mobile home park owners. 
Both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois 
Housing Development Authority will participate in this 
collaborative effort by providing office space for meetings and 
information on matters that arise in which the agencies have 
expertise, such as issues relating to public health and options 
for affordable housing, respectively.  The plan shall include 
provisions for the special counseling of manufactured home or 
mobile home owners displaced from the manufactured home 
community or mobile home park in which they live; the 
relocation or shelter needs of displaced manufactured home or 
mobile home owners; and the creation of a Manufactured Housing 
Relocation Fund.  The plan may include proposed legislation. No 
later than October 1, 2011, the plan and any proposed 
legislation shall be submitted to the President of the Senate, 
the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives, and the House Minority Leader.
