HOUSE BILL 3248 |

House Bill 3248 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to limit the liability of a state or county, in addition to a municipality, for damages arising directly from recreational hockey, in-line hockey, skating, in-line skating, roller-skating, skateboarding, or roller-blading that takes place on a premises owned, operated, or maintained by the state, county, or municipality for those purposes. The bill amends the definition of "recreation" to include activities that take place on premises, rather than inside a facility, and revises the notice that must be posted on or near the premises where the recreational activities occur to include the state and counties in the warning language.
