HB 2680 limits the liability of pilots performing navigation services in Matagorda and Lavaca Bays. The bill establishes that pilots cannot be held liable for damages exceeding $1,000 due to errors, omissions, or negligence while performing their duties, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The bill also ensures that vessel owners remain liable for damages caused by their ships, even when under a pilot’s guidance.
