Bill > HB1465

This bill establishes legal protections for property owners when individuals use dirtbikes on their private property by defining key terms and limiting liability. The bill defines a "dirtbike" as a motorcycle designed primarily for off-road use and an "owner of private property" as any individual, group, or entity that provides land for dirtbike use. It stipulates that participants automatically assume the inherent risks of dirtbike use, which include potential injuries from surface variations, collisions, operator errors, animal attacks, and medical complications in remote locations. Under this legislation, participants or their representatives cannot sue property owners for injuries or death resulting from these inherent risks. However, the bill does not protect property owners from liability in cases of intentional harm, gross negligence, providing unsafe equipment, failing to exercise reasonable care, or engaging in willful misconduct. The law specifically excludes employer-employee relationships covered by workers' compensation and provides a framework for understanding the legal responsibilities and risks associated with dirtbike use on private property.
