Enrolled Bill Summary

 Civil Practice and Remedies Code limits the liability of certain owners who allow others to use their property for recreational purposes. Previously the liability limits applied to owners, except for a governmental unit, who charged for entry to their premises but whose total charges collected for all recreation use was not more than twice the total amount of ad valorem taxes imposed on the premises for the previous calendar year, or for agricultural land not more than four times the total amount of ad valorem taxes. House Bill 408 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to limit the liability of owners to those whose total charges collected in the previous calendar year for all recreation use was not more than 20 times the total amount of ad valorem taxes imposed on the premises, regardless of whether the land was used for agricultural purposes.
