Assembly Bill 243 proposes to create a new statute, 101.05 (7), which exempts amusement rides located at campgrounds licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection from the regulatory oversight of the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). This exemption applies specifically to rides that are installed according to the manufacturers' recommended standards. Currently, DSPS is responsible for regulating all amusement rides, but this bill aims to streamline regulations for those rides situated in campgrounds.

The new legal language specifies that certain sections of the law, namely 101.02 (15), 101.12 (1), and 101.17 (1), will not apply to the exempted amusement rides. This change is intended to reduce regulatory burdens on campground operators while ensuring that safety standards are still met through adherence to manufacturer guidelines. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Tourism for further consideration.
