AN ACT Relating to restricting utility assessments and charges for certain mobile home parks; and amending RCW 35.67.370.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1 RCW 35.67.370 and 1998 c 61 s 1 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) Cities, towns, or counties may not require existing mobile home
parks to replace existing, functional septic systems with a sewer
system within the community unless the local board of health determines
that the septic system is failing.
(2) Cities, towns, and counties are prohibited from requiring
existing mobile home parks to pay a sewer service availability charge,
standby charge, consumption charge, or any other similar types of
charges associated with available but unused sewer service, including
any interest or penalties for nonpayment or enforcement charges, until
the mobile home park connects to the sewer service. When a mobile home
park connects to a sewer, cities, towns, and counties may only charge
mobile home parks prospectively from the date of connection for their
sewer service. This act is remedial in nature and applies
retroactively to 1993.
