Bill > A161

Introduced Session

This bill would amend P.L.1968, c.73 (C.2A:42A-2 et seq.), commonly known as the "Landowners' Liability Act," by expanding the definition of "sport and recreational activities" to include rock climbing, bouldering, and ice climbing. Under current law, if a landowner grants permission to another person, without receiving consideration (e.g., payment), to enter the landowner's property for the purpose of engaging in a sport or recreational activity, the landowner is not considered to have: (1) extended any assurance that the premises are safe for the particularsport or recreational activity; (2) rendered the person an invitee to whom a duty of cared is owed; or (3) assumed liability for an injury to person or property caused by an act of the person to whom permission to enter was granted, unless the injured person was owed a duty of care by the landowner.
