Purpose
Amends Laws 2014, Chapter 259, which established trampoline court regulations, to designate the legislation as Ty's Law.
Background
Laws 2014, Chapter
259 establishes trampoline court regulations, including requirements
relating to registration, inspection, insurance and protections for patrons. A
trampoline court owner or operator must: 1) annually apply for or renew the
trampoline court registration as prescribed;
2) have the trampoline court inspected at least once annually by an insurer or
an inspector with whom the insurer has contracted; 3) maintain the registration
certificate and a written certificate of the annual inspection at all times; 4)
procure insurance for the trampoline court that insures the owner or operator
against liability for injury arising from the use of the trampoline court in an
amount of not less than $1,000,000 for bodily injury; and 5) maintain, for a
period of at least two years, accurate records of emergency response service
calls and any governmental action taken relating to the trampoline court,
including any operation permits, insurance certificates, inspection reports and
other specified records. A trampoline court means a commercial facility
with a defined area composed of one ore more trampolines, a series of
trampolines, a trampoline court foam pit or a series of trampoline court foam
pits. A trampoline court does not include: 1) any playground operated by
a school or local government; 2) inflatable rides, inflatable bounce houses,
ball crawls and equipment that is used exclusively for exercise; 3) a physical
rehabilitation facility; or 4) a gymnastic training facility that derives a
majority of its revenue from supervised instruction in the teaching of
gymnastic skills and basics.
Laws 2016, Chapter
128 repeals the Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety (DFBLS), which
originally administered the trampoline court regulations, and transfers
oversight and administration of trampoline court regulations from DFBLS to the
State Forester. The State Forester must: 1) administer and enforce trampoline
court statutory regulations; 2) establish fees for the initial registration and
registration renewal of trampoline courts; 3) maintain a registry of all
trampoline courts; 4) request information to determine that the trampoline
court owner or operator possesses insurance and that the trampoline court has
been inspected at least annually;
5) maintain proof of insurance, emergency responder service calls and
inspection certificates for each registered trampoline court as public record;
and 7) administer the Trampoline Court Safety Fund (A.R.S. Title 37, Chapter 9,
Article 6).
