SENATE BILL 1051
Law
Outfitters, guides, liability
OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the liability of outfitters and guides.
RS30187 / S1051
This legislation amends the Outfitters and Guides Act to clarify outfitters and guides liability provisions. In particular, the amendment accomplishes three key things: (1) it clarifies that outfitters and guides have some protection from liability unless their conduct is negligent or reckless; (2) it clarifies that written liability waivers are enforceable; and (3) it acknowledges that there are inherent risks associated with outfitting and guiding.
There is no fiscal impact to the State's General Fund nor the Division's Dedicated Fund because this does not require additional agency oversight.
