Park managers will have until May 1, 2026, or within one (1) year of the manager’s hire date (whichever occurs later) to comply with the training and examination requirements specified in California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 2.3 and Health and Safety Code, section 18876.1.
Each park must ensure that at least one person employed as a manager, or acting in an onsite or offsite managerial capacity, is trained and successfully passes an examination. Training and examinations will be provided by HCD-approved third-party providers and will include:
- At least six (6) hours, and no more than eight (8) hours of training, during the initial year, including completion of an online examination.
- Every two (2) years thereafter, the training shall consist of at least two (2) hours, and no more than four (4) hours of follow-up training coursework, followed by an online examination.
A certificate of compliance is issued to each park manager that successfully completes the training and examination requirements. The certificate of compliance must be posted in a conspicuous location within the park managed.
All parks are required to pay the Program Certificate of Compliance or Exemption Issuance fee of $350.00 annually. This fee shall be paid at the same time that the park’s permit to operate fees are collected.
