HB1007

House Bill 1007 establishes limited immunity for hosts of specific shooting sports events in Arkansas. The bill applies to events sponsored by the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission, the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation, or the Arkansas 4-H Foundation, provided the host permits the use of their property without charge. Under the bill, hosts are not liable for injuries or deaths resulting from the inherent risks of these shooting sports. However, the bill outlines specific exceptions to this immunity, including cases involving faulty equipment, failure to vet participants, failure to warn of dangerous latent conditions on the premises, willful or wanton disregard for safety, or intentional injury. Additionally, the bill mandates that hosts post conspicuous warning signs at the event location to notify participants of this limited liability status.
