2018 House Bill 6426

Clarify county road defect liability detail

Introduced in the House

Oct. 3, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Roger Victory (R-88)

To clarify that liability for damage or injuries caused by negligence applies to county road commissions, and that they are subject to the sovereign immunity from liability as other governmental bodies. Under current law, road authorities are only liable for defects on roads if they know about them and had a reasonable time to do repairs.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
