State |
By Statute |
Restrictions |
| Alaska | Alaska: Sec. 09.65.292 | Sec. 05.45.120 does not allow using a release by ski areas for ski injuries |
| Arizona | ARS § 12-553 | Limited to Equine Activities |
| Colorado | C.R.S. §§13-22-107 | Some commentators consider the statute a little weak |
| Florida | Florida Statute § 744.301 (3) | |
|
By Case Law |
||
| California | Hohe v. San Diego Unified Sch. Dist., 224 Cal.App.3d 1559, 274 Cal.Rptr. 647 (1990) | |
| Florida | Global Travel Marketing, Inc v. Shea, 2005 Fla. LEXIS 1454 | Allows a release signed by a parent to require arbitration of the minor’s claims |
| Florida | Gonzalez v. City of Coral Gables, 871 So.2d 1067, 29 Fla. L. Weekly D1147 | Release can be used for volunteer activities and by government entities |
| Massachusetts | Sharon v. City of Newton, 437 Mass. 99; 769 N.E.2d 738; 2002 Mass. LEXIS 384 | |

|
On the Edge, but not enough to really rely on |
||
| North Carolina | Kelly v. United States of America, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89741 | Ruling is by the Federal District Court and only a preliminary motion |
