What's happening

This bill allows campground owners to remove disruptive or noncompliant guests and establishes procedures for property removal and fee refunds.

Why it matters

  1. Gives campground owners clear legal authority to remove guests. who disrupt others, overstay their agreement, fail to pay, or break laws or campground rules (after being given notice and a chance to correct).

  2. Establishes a fair process for refunding unused fees. to removed guests, ensuring they are not charged for days they are not allowed to stay, while also allowing deductions for damages or other owed amounts.

  3. Creates a procedure for handling and storing property left behind. by removed guests, including a 30-day written notice requirement, after which the property can be disposed of according to lien law—helping protect owners from abandoned property issues.

  4. Balances property owner rights with guest protections. by setting clear standards and timelines, which can reduce conflicts, potential lawsuits, and confusion over guest removal and property handling.
