TRENTON — Debate was scheduled to begin yesterday on a bill introduced by Assemblyman Joseph W. Chihnici (R., 1st DisV) thaf would, if ap proved, e'xtend the moratorium on levying real estate taxes against, mobile home owners'. Unless the legisjation is passed, mobile homes will be taxed beginning Jan. 1 as redl property. ACCORDING to Chinnici, his proposed bill — requiring no action by any committee because it has been listed as a "no reference" measure — woulckadd a three-year extensiorrto tfie U.S. Supreme

Court’s ruling that says mobile homes nu|st be taxed as real propdWy instead of personal property. The fiVst" moratorium was enacted by the Legislature after the Court made its ruling in 1979. UNDER THE, proposed legislatipn, mobile homes • wouldn’t be taxed as real property until Oct. 1, 1984 According to the assemblyman, this allows time to provide rational legislation,, regarding mobile homes. Mr. Chinnici, a senior member of tbe Joint Appropriations Committee, described the Ijill as “critically needed because of the large number of - senior citizens and low-, income residents dependent upon mobile hftmes for their housing.”
