Maddy summaryThis bill extends legal protections to owners of cattle and similar livestock by limiting their liability for injuries caused by the natural behaviors of these animals. It defines "inherent risks" as dangers that are part of owning or interacting with bovines, such as unpredictable reactions to sudden movements or collisions. Under the new law, owners cannot be held responsible for accidents resulting from these risks unless they fail to post specific warning signs or act with willful disregard for safety. The legislation requires owners to display clear warning notices near areas where bovines are kept or used for activities like riding or shows. These protections take effect on January 1, 2025.
