(a) The department may adopt, amend, or repeal guidelines for the administration and implementation of this chapter, in consultation with stakeholders. Any guidelines adopted to implement this chapter shall not be subject to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
(b) The department may offer one or more types of loans or activities authorized by this chapter through a notice of funding availability.
(c) The department shall obtain the best available security for loans made pursuant to this chapter. The security may include a note, deed of trust, assignment of lease, or other form of security on real or personal property that the department determines is adequate to protect the interests of the state. To the extent applicable, these documents and any regulatory provisions shall be recorded or referenced in a recorded document in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the mobilehome park is located.
(d) The degree of continuing regulatory control with respect to park operations and resident loans exercised by the department in making loans pursuant to this chapter shall be commensurate with the level of financial assistance provided and in all cases shall be adequate to protect the state’s security interest and ensure the accomplishment of the purposes of the program authorized by this chapter. The regulatory requirements shall be set forth in a regulatory agreement, deed of trust, or other lien, and any violation of these requirements shall be considered a violation of a security document. If loans are made to a qualifying nonprofit housing sponsor or local public entity, a regulatory agreement shall be recorded against the mobilehome park. This regulatory agreement shall contain provisions limiting occupancy, rents, and park operation for the entire loan term. The department may release individual spaces from the regulatory agreement only if they are purchased by residents who occupy them.

2. (2) Verification that either no park residents shall be involuntarily displaced as a result of the park conversion or the impacts of the displacement shall be mitigated as required under state and local law. For purposes of this requirement, compliance with Section 66427.5 of the Government Code shall be conclusively presumed to have mitigated economic displacement.
