LIABILITY/CIVIL: Establishes a limitation of liability relative to regional transit operations

HB 375 limits liability for regional transit operators, such as streetcar and trolley car systems, by stating they cannot be held responsible for vehicle damage unless they acted intentionally or negligently. The bill creates a legal presumption that these transit vehicles are not defective and that operators did not act negligently, shifting the burden of proof to plaintiffs in related lawsuits. This directly affects transit agencies, their operators, and drivers involved in collisions with transit vehicles. The law aims to protect public transit operations from certain civil claims by establishing clearer liability standards.
