Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1955 adds a new chapter to the Health and Safety Code to regulate the operation of ice skating centers. The act sets out the duties of rink operators, ice skaters, spectators, and children to ensure the health and safety of the patrons using the facility. The act requires a rink operator to maintain liability insurance of at least $500,000 combined single limits for personal injury, death, or property damage and clarifies that except for actions against an operator for gross negligence, malice, or intentional conduct, the operator is not liable for negligence unless there is a breach of duties as outlined by the act.
