SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Liability of owners of certain dams. Protects owners of land upon which dams that are owned, maintained, or operated by soil and water conservation districts are situated from liability for damages to the property of others or the injury to persons resulting from the failure of the dam. However, this protection is not afforded to the landowner if the damage to others is a result of an act or omission by the landowner that is unrelated to ownership, maintenance, or operation of the dam. This bill is identical to SB 466.
