SKATEBOARDING - HAZARDOUS RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY

LIABILITY PROTECTION FOR CITIES - AB1296

Recommendation:

Direct that a letter of support be sent to Assemblymember Bowen and direct staff to track the bill and express the City's support when the issue comes up in the process.

Background:

This bill would add skateboarding to the list of hazardous recreational activities for which local governments have limited liability protection. By having this sort of protection, it would make it easier to develop a skateboard park in the City.
