(a) For the purposes of computing the charge for electricity under Section 184.033(4), the recreational vehicle park owner shall divide the amount charged the owner by the supplying utility for the preceding fiscal year by the total number of kilowatt hours consumed by occupants visiting the park in the preceding fiscal year and round the quotient to the nearest cent.
(b) If since or during the preceding fiscal year the supplying utility increases its rates, the owner may recompute the preceding fiscal year's charges by the utility using the current rates charged by the utility.
(c) If since or during the preceding fiscal year the supplying utility decreases its rates, the owner shall recompute the preceding fiscal year's charges by the utility using the current rates charged by the utility.
(d) An owner may not:
