MINOR
The bill advanced from its first engrossed version to the enrolled version, indicating it is now ready for the Governor's signature. The summary text was updated to clarify that the law limits special assessments on recreational vehicle parks by excluding a specific portion of the parking space or campsite from the calculation and requiring authorities to consider occupancy rates. This change ensures that assessments are fairer by not charging for the full area of a site if it is not fully utilized.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on recreational vehicle parks, but the specific rules for calculating assessments have been refined to include occupancy rate considerations and partial area exemptions.
REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement for counties, municipalities, and special districts to consider a recreational vehicle park's occupancy rates when applying the new assessment rules.

ELIGIBILITY

Clarified that special assessments may not be levied against a certain portion of a recreational vehicle parking space or campsite, effectively creating an exemption for unused space.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill status from 'Engrossed 1' to 'ENROLLED' and changed the version identifier from 'e1' to 'er', reflecting its final passage by the legislature.
