Caption: Relating to liability of a water park entity for injuries arising from certain activities.
Initially Referred to Senate State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
Last Referred to House Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee, chaired by a Republican
SB 1119 establishes limited liability protections for water parks in Texas. The bill creates Chapter 75D of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which limits the liability of water park owners and operators for injuries sustained by participants in water park activities. Under the bill, a water park entity is not liable for injuries suffered by participants if a legally prescribed warning sign is posted at or near the park's entrance. However, the bill does not limit liability in cases where the injury was proximately caused by negligence, an unaddressed dangerous condition at the park, improper or insufficient employee training, or intentional harm by the water park operator. The law applies to causes of action accruing on or after the effective date.

Sponsors: Harris Davila (R)
