BILL NUMBER:S1342           REVISED MEMO 02/25/2015

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property law, in relation to
campgrounds

PURPOSE:

Provides for the removal of persons from campgrounds by the owner or
operator thereof, or his or her agent.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 Adds a new section, 233-b to the Real Property Law, which
seeks to define campgrounds and a campground owner and to provide for
the removal of persons from a campground who, among other things,
create a disturbance or otherwise violate lawful regulations
promulgated by the campground owner, Also provides for the return of
pre-paid fees and the disposal of property belonging of persons who
are removed from a campground or abandon property on a campground.

Section 2 Contains the effective date

JUSTIFICATION:

There is no direct law dealing with the removal of guests from
campgrounds. As a result, many courts attempt to create a

landlord-tenant relationship, where it should be a licensor-licensee
relationship. Worse yet, other courts have also considered campgrounds
to be mobile home parks, which are subject-for good reason- to
extremely protracted eviction proceedings. There is also no clear and
effective way to dispose of property that is left behind by a camper
who is either removed from a campground or abandons property on a
campground. This bill seeks to address these issues.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2014:  S. 1360 Referred to Judiciary; A. 5617 Referred to Judiciary
2013:  S. 1360 Passed Senate; A. 5617 Referred to Judiciary
2011-12:   S. 4024 Passed Senate; A. 5561 Referred to judiciary

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
