§ 1121 State Fish Hatchery Leases

This law lets the state promise to protect a county, city, or other public agency from lawsuits or costs when the state rents their land to run a fish hatchery, and the state can buy insurance for that promise.

Key Takeaways

  • •The rule only applies when the state leases land for a fish hatchery.
  • •The state can agree to cover any claims against the landowner because of the hatchery.
  • •The Department of General Services can buy insurance to protect the state from those costs.

Example

The state rents a piece of land from a county to build a fish hatchery.

If someone gets hurt at the hatchery and tries to sue the county, the state will pay for the damages because the lease says the state will protect the county. The state can also buy insurance to cover those costs.
