Relating to: regulation of amusement rides located at campgrounds. (FE)
AB 243 exempts certain amusement rides at campgrounds from specific safety regulations. It directly affects campground operators who install rides meeting manufacturer standards. The bill creates a new exemption (statute 101.05(7)) stating that three existing safety sections (101.02(15), 101.12(1), and 101.17(1)) do not apply to rides installed per manufacturer guidelines at campgrounds licensed under section 97.67. This changes regulatory requirements for these specific rides without altering broader safety rules.
