Show Notes
Oregon lawmakers grapple with a significant challenge for ski resorts and outdoor recreation spots: enforcing liability waivers due to a 2014 Supreme Court ruling. This has led to skyrocketing insurance costs, making recreation more expensive. Two bills, Senate Bill 1517 and Senate Bill 1593, aim to address the issue but are moving in different directions. Ski operators support Senate Bill 1593, calling it balanced, while opponents argue Senate Bill 1517 is too broad and could encourage lawsuits. With ten days left in session, Senate Bill 1517 heads to the House for potential amendments, aiming to create a more favorable market for outdoor activities.
