STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30187 / S1051
This legislation amends the Outfitters and Guides Act to clarify outfitters and guides liability provisions. In
particular, the amendment accomplishes three key things: (1) it clarifies that outfitters and guides have some
protection from liability unless their conduct is negligent or reckless; (2) it clarifies that written liability waivers
are enforceable; and (3) it acknowledges that there are inherent risks associated with outfitting and guiding.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the State's General Fund nor the Division's Dedicated Fund because this does not
require additional agency oversight.
