Relating to: regulation of amusement rides located at campgrounds. (FE)
SB 225 exempts amusement rides installed at licensed campgrounds from certain existing safety regulations. Specifically, it creates a new statute (101.05 (7)) stating that sections 101.02 (15), 101.12 (1), and 101.17 (1) do not apply to rides meeting manufacturer-recommended standards at campgrounds licensed under section 97.67. This directly affects campground operators who install such rides, removing requirements from other safety codes. The bill’s key provision is the regulatory exemption based on manufacturer standards rather than broader state safety rules.
