H.B. No. 4904 introduces a new provision to the Texas Transportation Code, specifically adding Section 662.014, which establishes limitations on the civil liability of property owners hosting motorcycle training courses. According to the new law, property owners will not be held liable for any acts or omissions that occur during the instruction of motorcycle operation and safety, provided that these do not involve gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. This aims to encourage property owners to offer their spaces for such training without the fear of legal repercussions.

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 means that any incidents occurring before this date will not be covered under the new provisions. Overall, the legislation seeks to promote motorcycle safety training while protecting property owners from potential lawsuits related to these activities.
