16     Home Relocation Corporation as set forth in subsection (1), a 
17     mobile home owner may abandon the mobile home in the mobile home 
18     park and collect $1,375 for a single section and $2,750 for a 
19     multisection from the corporation as long as the mobile home 
20     owner delivers to the park owner the current title to the mobile 
21     home duly endorsed by the owner of record and valid releases of 
22     all liens shown on the title. If a mobile home owner chooses

34     determine whether the mobile home owner is entitled to payment 
35     pursuant to this section. 
36           Section 2. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law.
