Bill > HB263

This bill amends the Local Government Code to give municipalities and counties new authority regarding recreational vehicle (RV) parks. Specifically, local governments can now choose to either prohibit the formation of RV parks entirely or, if they decide to allow such parks, can charge a fee for their establishment. The bill defines a "recreational vehicle park" by referencing an existing definition in the Water Code (Section 13.087), which ensures a consistent understanding of what constitutes an RV park. By providing this local control, the legislation empowers cities and counties to regulate RV parks based on their specific community needs, whether that means preventing such parks from being created or managing their development through a fee-based approach. The bill will go into effect 91 days after the end of the legislative session, giving local governments time to prepare for these new regulatory options.
