|
relating to fees charged to certain recreational vehicle parks. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 13.087, Water Code, is amended by |
|
|
amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsection (b-1) to read as |
|
|
follows: |
|
|
(b) A municipally owned utility that provides nonsubmetered |
|
|
master metered utility service to a recreational vehicle park shall |
|
|
determine the rates for that service on the same basis the utility |
|
|
uses to determine the rates for other commercial businesses[,
|
|
|
including hotels and motels,] that serve transient customers and |
|
|
receive nonsubmetered master metered utility service from the |
|
|
utility. |
|
|
(b-1) A municipally owned utility that provides |
|
|
nonsubmetered master metered utility service to a recreational |
|
|
vehicle park may not charge a recreational vehicle park a fee that |
|
|
the utility does not charge other commercial businesses that serve |
|
|
transient customers and receive nonsubmetered master metered |
|
|
utility service from the utility. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 49.351, Water Code, is amended by adding |
|
|
Subsection (m) to read as follows: |
|
|
(m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a |
|
|
district may not charge a fee to a recreational vehicle park, as |
|
|
defined by Section 13.087, on the basis of connections the park |
|
|
provides for the park's transient customers. A fee charged to a |
|
|
recreational vehicle park must be based on the park's nonsubmetered |
|
|
master meter connection. |
