H.B. No. 4904 introduces a new provision to the Texas Transportation Code, specifically adding Section 662.014, which limits the civil liability of property owners who host motorcycle instruction and training courses. According to the new law, property owners will not be held liable for any acts or omissions that occur during such instruction or courses. However, this limitation does not apply in cases of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
The bill specifies that the new liability limitations will only apply to causes of action that arise on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to encourage property owners to facilitate motorcycle training without the fear of legal repercussions, thereby promoting safety and education in motorcycle operation.
