This bill amends Chapter 16, Title 36 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 36-1605, which establishes a limitation of liability for recreation clubs and their members. The purpose of this section is to encourage the formation of recreation clubs and participation in recreational activities by protecting club members from legal claims related to injuries or deaths that occur during these activities. The bill defines key terms such as "club member," "participant," and "recreation activity," and specifies that membership dues and donations to a recreation club do not constitute a fee for participation.

However, the bill outlines several exceptions to this limitation of liability. These exceptions include situations where a recreation club or member provides equipment that directly causes injury, acts with gross negligence, intentionally injures a participant, or fails to exercise ordinary care. Additionally, the bill states that recreation clubs and their members have no duty to mitigate risks associated with recreational activities, and participants assume all inherent risks. The bill also allows participants to waive negligence claims through written consent. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
