Bill Caption

Relating to a landowner's liability for injuries incurred during certain recreational activities.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to State or local government.

Bill Analysis

HB 2303 would add "recreational off-highway vehicles" to a list of exemptions concerning landowner liability for recreational activities.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill affirms the principle of personal responsibility by allowing people to take personal responsibility for any injuries that may occur during an recreational activity they choose to participate in. This also protects property owners from undue liability concerns created by choices made by other people. We support HB 2903.
