Louisiana HB375 limits liability for streetcar and trackless trolley car operators and establishes presumptions of non-negligence.

Louisiana HB375 modifies liability rules for streetcar and trackless trolley car operators. It states that such operators are not liable for losses or damages to motor vehicle operators unless intentional or negligent actions are proven. The bill also creates a rebuttable presumption that streetcars or trackless trolley cars are not defective and that the regional transit entity and the streetcar or trolley car operator did not act negligently. This legislation aims to protect transit operators from certain liability claims.
