A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
 
  relating to the rates charged by certain conservation and
  reclamation districts for potable water or wastewater service to
  recreational vehicle parks.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 49.2122, Water Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
         (a-1)  Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a district that
  provides nonsubmetered master metered utility service, as defined
  by Section 13.087(a)(1), to a recreational vehicle park, as defined
  by Section 13.087(a)(3), shall determine the rates for that service
  on the same basis the district uses to determine the rates for other
  commercial businesses that serve transient customers and receive
  nonsubmetered master metered utility service from the district.
         SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act does not apply
  to a rate established for nonsubmetered master metered utility
  service entered into by a district and a recreational vehicle park
  before the effective date of this Act.  A rate established for
  nonsubmetered master metered utility service entered into by a
  district and a recreational vehicle park before the effective date
  of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the rate was
  established, and the former law is continued in effect for that
  purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
