Johnson Seeks Bill To Protection Rec Businesses From Liability Risks

Oregon 52nd District State Representative Mark Johnson is pushing a bill to give recreational areas protection from personal liability lawsuits.  The Oregon Supreme Court ruled last year in a case involving Mt. Bachelor Ski Area that even though there are liability waivers on passes purchased by users, those are not ironclad releases.  Johnson worries that opens all recreational-based industries to increased risks of lawsuits, and he’s supporting efforts on House and Senate bills to prevent that.  Johnson says the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association has been opposing the measure.  A hearing has been held in the Senate, and Johnson would like one scheduled in the House.
