Torts; creating Julie's Law; requiring the use of helmets for certain individuals engaging in certain equestrian activities. Effective date.

SB 776, known as "Julie's Law," requires participants in equine training and teaching activities to wear helmets. The bill amends Oklahoma's livestock liability law to specifically mandate helmet use for individuals engaging in these activities at designated equestrian facilities. This directly affects participants in horse training, teaching, or similar programs at facilities designed for horses, including youth or recreational settings. The requirement is a new safety measure intended to reduce head injuries during these activities, while maintaining existing liability protections for sponsors and professionals regarding inherent risks of livestock activities.
