(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 2/19/02)

     Provides that cities, towns, or counties may require existing mobile home parks to replace existing, functional septic systems with a sewer system within the community when either the local board of health determines that the septic system is failing or it is at least five years after the first request to replace the septic system.

     Provides that cities, towns, counties, local improvement districts, utility local improvement districts, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, or any other persons, firms, or corporations are prohibited from requiring existing mobile home parks to pay a utility assessment, connection charge, or any other charge associated with a utility until the mobile home park connects to that utility or no longer operates as a mobile home park under chapter 59.20 RCW.  This act is remedial in nature and applies retroactively.
