Counties; creating the Citizen Access to County Facilities Act. Effective date.

SB 935, the "Citizen Access to County Facilities Act," limits county liability for injuries occurring during activities at county-owned facilities like parks, senior centers, or fairgrounds. It requires counties to post a specific warning notice at facility entrances stating participants assume all inherent risks (including land, equipment, or negligent behavior), and counties cannot be sued for such injuries unless they acted with willful disregard or failed to address known dangers. The law applies to all participants using county facilities - excluding county employees - and mandates clear warning signs in black letters at least one inch tall. Counties must include the same warning in written facility contracts, and failure to post it removes their liability protection. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
