An Act relating to tort liability; defining terms; prohibiting liability of off-road motorcycle entities for injury caused by certain activities; providing certain exceptions; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new protections against lawsuits for entities involved in off-road motorcycle activities in Oklahoma, meaning that owners, operators, sponsors, or officials of commercial properties designed for off-road motorcycle recreation or education, such as riding instruction, competitions, or group rides, will generally not be held liable for injuries sustained by participants that arise from the inherent risks of these activities, provided they are acting in good faith and following industry standards. However, this protection does not apply to employees covered by workers' compensation, nor does it shield individuals who intentionally injure someone or act with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of others, and the law is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
