The bill, H.B. No. 3481, introduces regulations for trampoline courts in Texas by adding Chapter 2152 to the Occupations Code. It defines key terms such as "trampoline court," "operator," and "qualified inspector," and outlines the responsibilities of trampoline court owners and operators. The bill mandates annual inspections by qualified inspectors, requires insurance coverage of at least $1 million for liability claims, and stipulates that injury reports must be filed with the Texas Department of Insurance for serious injuries occurring at these facilities. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for safety instructions to be posted prominently at trampoline courts.

The bill also establishes enforcement provisions, allowing the commissioner of insurance and the attorney general to take action against non-compliant operators. It permits district attorneys to seek injunctions against trampoline courts that do not meet minimum safety standards. The commissioner is tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement these regulations by December 1, 2025, with the act itself taking effect on that date, except for the rule adoption provision, which takes effect earlier on September 1, 2025.
