Bill Summary
OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the liability of outfitters and guides.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to revise the liability provisions for outfitters and guides in Idaho. The key changes are: (1) limiting the liability of outfitters and guides to only cases where their negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct directly caused the participant's injuries, rather than any failure to comply with licensing requirements or other duties; (2) explicitly stating that outfitters and guides have no duty to eliminate, alter, or control the inherent risks of the recreational activities they provide, and participants assume those risks; and (3) allowing participants to prospectively waive negligence claims against licensed outfitters and guides through written consent, which will be enforceable. The bill also declares an emergency and states that it will take effect on July 1, 2023.
