HOUSE BILL 408
RS30963 / H0408
This bill adds a new section to Title 5, Chapter 3 of the Idaho Code relating to limited immunity from liability for acts or omissions of volunteer ski and bike patrols at Idaho’s mountain recreation areas. The patrollers must possess qualifications meeting the standards of the National Ski Patrol. Idaho’s Good Samaritan statute is inadequate to sufficiently protect volunteer patrollers from exposure to liability for various aid they provide to the visitors to the areas they serve. This bill will advance the public policy of encouraging these volunteers, and those thinking of volunteering, to provide immediate assistance in times of great need.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause and increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government. Therefore, the legislation has no fiscal impact.
