LA HB1098

Aerospace flight entities are shielded from liability for nuisance, trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, and claims based on noise, sonic booms, overflight, vibration, light, heat, exhaust, smoke, odor, visual intrusion, or temporary access restrictions resulting from aerospace activities.

Flight participants who sign written consent agreements as required by 51 U.S.C. §50905 cannot recover for injuries or damages from aerospace flight activities.

Liability protections do not apply to gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, intentional injury, FAA license/permit violations, or physical damage from falling debris exceeding normal aerospace risks.

Reciprocal waivers of claims between parties under Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. §440.17) are enforceable in Louisiana, including waivers by contractors, subcontractors, and customers.

Aerospace entities are presumed to be acting lawfully when in substantial compliance with applicable federal, state, and local licenses, permits, or authorizations.
