House Bill 341, the “Landowner Liability Protection Act,” is up for another possible vote in the House Housing & Community Affairs Committee on Wednesday, June 11. HB 341, sponsored by State Representative William Carson (D-28), would ensure that landowners who allow public hunting access incur no liability for property damage or personal injuries caused by hunters -- regardless of whether the damage occurs on or off the landowner's property. This proposal affirms the basic American principle of individual responsibility. A landowner should not be held liable for the actions of a hunter---and any reasonable trial lawyer knows it! In past weeks a vote has been delayed because of opposition from the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association. If House Bill 341 is not enacted, landowners will continue to deny access to hunters for fear of being sued. Your help is needed to ensure passage of this crucial piece of legislation. Please continue to contact committee members and respectfully urge them to support House Bill 341. House Housing & Community Affairs Committee State Representative Daniel B.
