SB 642 Maryland Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Courts - Prohibited Liability Agreements - Indoor Trampoline Parks

SB 642 modifies Maryland law to specifically prohibit liability waivers for indoor trampoline parks. It makes any contract clause limiting a trampoline park's liability for injuries caused by its negligence or wrongful acts void and unenforceable. This directly affects trampoline park operators, who can no longer require customers to sign such waivers. The bill narrows a previous broader rule (which applied to all "recreational facilities") to apply only to indoor trampoline parks, leaving liability rules unchanged for gyms, pools, or other facilities. The change takes effect October 1, 2025.
