HF 632 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to civil liability actions against motocross facilities.

HF 632 limits civil liability for motocross facilities in Iowa by granting them immunity from lawsuits related to typical dangers of motocross activities, such as weather, terrain hazards, or operator error. This applies to facility operators (like rental parks or event organizers) and directly affects participants (riders) who cannot sue for injuries caused by these inherent risks. The bill includes exceptions where facilities remain liable for intentional harm, negligence causing injury, providing unsafe equipment, or failing to exercise reasonable care. It also requires facilities to post clear warning signs stating that Iowa law limits their liability for such inherent risks. The bill does not affect existing claims or common law defenses for injuries occurring before its effective date.
