HF 4601 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liability for all corporate donations for death or injury to a participant resulting from the inherent risks of livestock activities limited.

This bill limits the legal liability of nonprofit organizations and their corporate donors for injuries or deaths that occur during livestock activities due to inherent risks. It amends existing Minnesota law to clarify that entities providing services, livestock, facilities, or equipment to nonprofit groups are not held responsible for participant injuries arising from the natural dangers of livestock events. The protection applies only to causes of action that begin on or after August 1, 2025, meaning it does not affect lawsuits filed before that date. The legislation directly affects nonprofit groups hosting livestock events and the corporations that support them through donations.
