BILL NUMBER:S6989
Title of bill
An act to amend the lien law, in relation to establishing a campground owner's lien
Purpose
Establishes a lien, for the benefit of a campground owner, on the recreational vehicle of a campground guest for unpaid charges to a campground.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- Creates a new section 181 of the lien law which defines a campground, campground owner, guest, occupancy agreement and recreational vehicle and provides for a lien against a recreational vehicle and its contents. The lien is superior to any other lien or security interest and shall be enforced in accordance with provisions of Article 9 of the lien law.
Section 2- Contains the effective date.
Justification
In essence, a campground owner is no different than a garage keeper or self-service storage facility owner, who is entitled to a lien when a customer or occupant defaults under the terms of a storage contract or occupancy agreement. Campground owners are particularly susceptible when long-term guests fall behind in payments and abandon their recreational vehicles at the end of a camping season. The remedies provided under the Lien Law are the only cost effective way for a campground owner to recoup his or her losses under these circumstances.
