The bill, titled "Limited Liability for Cavern Activities," introduces Chapter 75C to the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which establishes specific definitions and limitations regarding the liability of cavern entities for injuries sustained during cavern activities. Key definitions include "cavern activity," "cavern activity participant," and "cavern entity," which clarify the scope of the bill. The bill stipulates that a cavern entity is generally not liable for injuries to participants if a proper warning sign is posted at the entrance of the cavern, as outlined in Section 75C.003.

However, the bill also specifies exceptions to this limited liability. A cavern entity can still be held liable for injuries that are directly caused by its negligence regarding safety, known dangerous conditions, or failure to properly train employees involved in cavern activities. Additionally, intentional harm caused by the cavern entity is not protected under this limited liability framework. The bill aims to provide a clearer legal framework for cavern entities while ensuring that participants are adequately warned of potential risks associated with cavern activities.
