The bill aims to enhance safety regulations for amusement rides and water slides in Alabama by adopting specific ASTM International standards, including F770-22 for operation and maintenance, F2376-22 for water slide systems, and F747-22 for terminology related to amusement rides. Key definitions are provided for terms such as "amusement ride," "coin-operated amusement ride," "inflatable amusement device," and "water slide." The bill mandates that all amusement rides and water slides be inspected by a qualified inspector at least once every 12 months, with the requirement that no ride may operate without a valid inspection certificate. Additionally, owners must conduct daily pre-opening inspections and maintain records for at least three years.

The legislation also stipulates that owners must carry liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1 million for bodily injury or death per occurrence. It outlines the responsibilities of patrons, including obeying posted signs and instructions, and prohibits actions that could endanger themselves or others. Notably, the bill exempts certain entities, such as sheriffs, recreational vehicle parks, governmental entities, and summer camps, from its provisions. The act will take effect three months after its passage and approval by the Governor.
