(a)

The town may, at its option, upon 60 days notice to the registrant, but in no event more often than once per year, examine the records and accounting files, and such other books and records, if such records relate to the calculation of fee payments.

This paragraph shall not apply for periods after October 1, 2001, or such other date as provided by law, provided that F.S. § 337.401, is amended effective October 1, 2001, as set forth in Chapter 00-260, Laws of Florida, 2000.
