AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Florida's laws related to the regulation of recreational activities. The key provisions are:
1. It clarifies that the Department of Health is the exclusive regulatory and permitting authority for sanitation and permitting standards for mobile home parks, lodging parks, recreational vehicle parks, and recreational camps.
2. It provides a 60-day timeframe for new owners to apply for permits when a park or camp is sold or ownership is transferred.
3. It creates a rebuttable presumption that a guest occupying a recreational vehicle for less than 6 months is a transient guest.
4. It allows a recreational vehicle park that is damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster to be rebuilt using the same density standards that were previously approved.
5. It specifies when property left by a guest is considered abandoned and how it should be disposed of.
6. It authorizes park operators to refuse access or eject guests or visitors for certain conduct, and makes it a criminal trespass offense for someone to refuse to leave when asked.
7. It exempts certain large surf pools from supervision and regulation by the Department of Health until the department adopts rules for such facilities.
