Committee approves narrow clarification to tramway liability law for public subdivisions
Summary
HB1981 clarifies that the statutory immunities afforded public subdivisions remain intact following earlier tramway (mountain-lift) legislation; sponsor described the measure as a technical clarification.
Representative Maddox introduced HB1981, legislation described by its sponsor as a clarification that the immunity and liability protections granted to public subdivisions (cities and other local governmental entities) remain unchanged after earlier tramway/mountain-bike lift legislation.
Maddox told the committee the bill "was brought to us... to clarify that we are not doing away with the immunities that our public subdivisions of the state have" and that the change is narrowly focused on removing confusion created by prior language. No public opposition was recorded in the hearing and no extended debate followed.
The committee adopted a do-pass motion and the chair announced the bill passed out of committee.
