Share On Social!

This bill, authored by Peter Nehr (R-Florida), encourages school districts to adopt written policies to promote public access to outdoor recreation & sports facilities on school property. HB 431 seeks to increase the number of joint-use agreements, and to develop procedures for an appeal process if negotiations for joint-use agreements fail. In addition, districts who implement joint-use agreements would be granted immunity from liability except in instances of gross negligence or intentional misconduct. On March 1, 2012 the Florida House of Representatives voted unanimously to pass this bill and on July 1, 2012 this policy was made effective.
