Official description
Duty of care and liability of landowner; injury or death of person operating off-road motorcycle. Provides that a landowner, defined in the bill, owes no duty of care to another person (i) who operates an off-road motorcycle, defined in the bill, on such landowner's land or (ii) to whom the landowner has provided an off-road motorcycle for use on such landowner's land, regardless of whether such landowner has given such person permission or has received a fee from such other person to use the land or off-road motorcycle for such purpose. The bill immunizes the landowner from civil liability for any injury or death arising from the operation of an off-road motorcycle on the landowner's land except in cases of gross negligence or willful or malicious failure to guard or warn against a dangerous condition, provision of an off-road motorcycle that such landowner knew was unsafe to the extent that operation of such off-road motorcycle would likely result in an injury, or other act or omission resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
