DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ State lawmakers are considering a bill designed to help protect cities from sledding-related lawsuits. Sioux City lawmakers have expressed interest in the bill. The city was forced to pay nearly $480,000 in damages after a man injured himself in 2008 while sledding at a Sioux City park.
A House committee on Tuesday approved legislation that would mean cities wouldn't be held liable if someone was injured on city property designated for sledding. Sponsor Rep. Chip Baltimore says the law wouldn't remove all liability for cities, but he hopes it would make city officials more comfortable letting some sledding take place.
If approved, the legislation would add sledding to a list of activities that cities are not liable for on city grounds, due to their risky nature. Those activities include skateboarding, in-line skating, bicycling and canoeing.
Baltimore says the bill will now be debated by the full House.
