Space flight liability.
Summary
The Space Flight Liability and Immunity Act requires a space flight entity, as defined, to collect a signed warning statement from each participant in space flight activities. The warning statement is required to inform the participant that there is limited civil liability for bodily injury sustained as a result of the inherent risks associated with space flight activities. The act limits the liability of a space flight entity that complies with these provisions. This bill would include in the warning statement provisions a prohibition against construing those provisions to be contrary to the public policy of this state.
