3. Upon a change of ownership, a new owner shall obtain a license within thirty days from the date of sale. Failure of the owner to obtain licensure within thirty days from the date of sale may result in disciplinary action against the owner for operating without a license.

4. The department shall waive the license and inspection requirement for any mobile home park, recreational vehicle park, or campground owned by the state or a political subdivision.
