First Amendment Watch + Nanny State Continued....

[alfreda89]

The Hawaii House calls it "Duty to Warn."

How about a law "'that would impose civil liability on writers and publishers of travel guides if a reader "suffers an injury or dies" after engaging in an activity or trespassing to reach a site "depicted or described" in the publication.'"

Why yes, there's a bull in that field, but the guide doesn't say anything about him being dangerous, so we should be able to cut across here....

I don't think the bill will pass, and it certainly has first amendment implications, but "bull in the field" doesn't quite characterize the intent or reasoning behind what is going on and why the bill was introduced.

It's not really a Nanny State bill in the sense I think most people would use that term.
