SB 154 - This act exempts watercraft liveries from liability for the death or injury of a paddlesport participant resulting from the inherent risk of such an activity unless the livery:

1) Intentionally injures the participant; 2) Commits an act of negligence which proximately causes the death or injury; 3) Negligently provides an unsafe watercraft or equipment; or 4) Fails to provide a lifejacket.
