HB 1007 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO REGULATE LIABILITY FOR SHOOTING SPORTS EVENTS; AND TO PROVIDE IMMUNITY TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPECT TO SHOOTING SPORTS EVENTS.

HB 1007, now Act 248, provides legal immunity to certain individuals involved in shooting sports events, shielding them from liability claims for injuries that occur during these events. It directly affects event organizers, participants, and staff by limiting their legal responsibility for accidental injuries sustained at such events. The key mechanism is the immunity provision, which would prevent lawsuits from being filed against these individuals for injuries related to the event. The bill was enacted into law in Arkansas on March 6, 2025.
