Bill > HB4126

This bill establishes protections for private property owners in Oklahoma by limiting their liability for injuries or deaths that occur to participants using dirt bikes on their property, provided these incidents stem from the "inherent risk of dirt bike use," which is defined as dangers integral to riding such as surface changes, collisions with objects, operator error, animal attacks, or injuries occurring in remote locations without immediate medical access. A "participant" is anyone who uses a dirt bike on private property, whether or not they pay a fee, and an "owner of private property" includes individuals or entities that sponsor, organize, rent, or provide property for dirt bike use. However, these protections do not apply in cases of employer-employee relationships, or if the property owner intentionally injures a participant, exhibits gross negligence in ensuring safety, provides an unsafe dirt bike knowing it's dangerous, fails to exercise ordinary care, or engages in willful or wanton misconduct, gross negligence, or criminal conduct that causes harm. This new law will take effect on November 1, 2026.
