Committee introduces RS32022 to adjust outfitter liability language
Summary
Representative Shepherd asked the committee to introduce RS32022, a bill described as similar to a liability bill introduced the previous year that would limit certain liabilities for outfitters while preserving accountability for gross negligence. The committee voted to introduce the resolution.
Representative Shepherd asked the Resources and Conservation Committee to introduce RS32022, a proposal he described as "along the same lines" as a liability bill for outfitters the committee considered in the previous legislative session.
"Pretty simple. Nothing too complicated," Shepherd said, adding that the measure preserves liability for gross negligence but provides liability protections in other circumstances. Shepherd identified himself as the sponsor and said he would be able to discuss the bill in more detail at a formal hearing if the committee introduced the resolution.
No committee member asked substantive questions during the introductory discussion, and a motion to introduce RS32022 was made. The committee voted by voice; the ayes prevailed and the resolution was introduced for further consideration.
Shepherd did not provide specific statutory text or examples of how the liability protections would apply at the introductory presentation. He told the committee members he would provide more detail at the bill hearing.
