Wyoming Bill stripped but still good and NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

Contact your legislator and let them know you need this to pass. 

I posted an article Wyoming is beefing up its Recreational Safety Act so minors cannot sue. The original bill met with resistance and from what I’m told minimal support in committee and several valuable provisions was stripped from the bill. The bill still toughens up the Wyoming Recreation Act and you should still get behind this bill.

SENATE FILE NO. SF0079
Recreation Safety Act-waiver on behalf of minors.
Sponsored by: Senator(s) Case and Representative(s) Brown
and Gingery
A BILL
for

AN ACT relating to the Recreation Safety Act; clarifying and specifying assumption of risk relating to that act; modifying the listing of activities which constitute a sport or recreational opportunity; and providing for an effective date.

Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Wyoming: Section 1. W.S. 1-1-122(a)(iii) and 1-1-123 by creating a new subsection (d) are amended to read: 12 1-1-122. Definitions.

(a) As used in this act:

(iii) “Sport or recreational opportunity” means commonly understood sporting activities including baseball, softball, football, soccer, basketball, swimming, hockey, dude ranching, nordic or alpine skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, outdoor education programs, river floating, hunting, fishing, backcountry trips, horseback riding and any other equine activity, snowmobiling and similar recreational opportunities and includes the use of private lands for vehicle parking and land access related to the sport or recreational opportunity;

1-1-123. Assumption of risk.
 
(d) The assumption of risk provisions in subsections (a) through (c) of this section apply irrespective of the age of the person assuming the risk.

Section 2. This act is effective immediately upon completion of all acts necessary for a bill to become law as provided by Article 4, Section 8 of the Wyoming Constitution. 

Get behind this bill means contact your local Wyoming legislator and tell him or her you support this bill and want it to pass.
