House Bill 783 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to establish that an electric utility that signs an agreement with a municipality, county, or political subdivision to allow recreational use of land that the utility owns, occupies, or leases has limited liability to a third party to the extent the municipality, county, or political subdivision purchases an applicable general liability insurance policy insuring the electric utility for liability arising from the condition of the premises for such recreational use. The bill further establishes that the provision applies only to an electric utility located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more and located on the international border, or in a municipal management district located in a municipality with a population of more than 1.9 million.
