Introduced

SB 301 - This act establishes the Prescribed Burning Act, which specifies that no landowner or agent of a landowner shall be liable for damages caused by a prescribed burning or the resulting smoke unless the landowner or agent is negligent. Additionally, unless proven negligent, no certified burn manager shall be liable for damages caused by a prescribed burning or the resulting smoke.

This act is similar to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/HCS/HB 369 (2021), in HCS/SB 377 (2021), SCS/SB 661 (2020), HCS/HB 1547 (2020), and HB 978 (2019).
