HB 60

Abstract

Amends the Amusement Ride and Attraction Safety Act. Provides that "amusement ride" includes any trampoline court. Defines "trampoline court". House Floor Amendment No. 1 Provides that "amusement ride" means, among other things, any dry slide, alpine slide, or toboggan slide that a person must pay to gain access to, but not a slide at a private residence, public or nonpublic school, daycare, or public park (rather than any dry slide, alpine slide, or toboggan slide). Provides that "trampoline court" does not include a gymnastic training facility that derives all (rather than a majority) of its revenue from supervised instruction in the teaching of gymnastic skills (rather than gymnastic skills and basics). House Floor Amendment No. 2 Makes changes to the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 1 to provide that "amusement ride" includes any dry slide, alpine slide, or toboggan slide except (1) any slide that is placed in a playground and that does not normally require the supervision or services of a person responsible for its operation; or (2) any slide that is not open to the general public and for which admission is monitored and strictly controlled by invitation, company or group identification, or other means of identification (rather than providing that "amusement ride" includes any dry slide, alpine slide, or toboggan slide that a person must pay to gain access to, but not a slide at a private residence, public or nonpublic school, daycare, or public park). Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that the definition of "trampoline court" does not include a gymnastic training facility that only utilizes trampolines during the supervised instruction of gymnastic skills (currently, a gymnastic training facility that derives all of its revenue from supervised instruction in the teaching of gymnastic skills).
