The bill, H.B. No. 4904, proposes an amendment to the Transportation Code by adding Section 662.014, which establishes limitations on the civil liability of property owners who host motorcycle instruction and training courses. Specifically, it states that 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 new legal language clarifies that the protections for property owners 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 allow their premises to be used for motorcycle training without the fear of legal repercussions, while still holding them accountable in cases of serious misconduct.
