Concerning accounts.
SB 6198 repeals eight existing state accounts (including those for youth housing, hospital grants, and climate resiliency) and creates a new "abandoned recreational vehicle disposal account" to manage funds for removing abandoned RVs. The new account receives fees from RV disposal, general fund transfers, and other gifts, with reimbursements limited to 100% of eligible costs up to $10,000 per vehicle for registered tow truck operators and licensed dismantlers. Residual funds from repealed accounts are transferred to the general fund by July 1, 2026. This bill directly affects state agencies managing RV removal costs and the businesses reimbursed for these services.
