Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to limit landowner liability when certain persons operate an all-terrain vehicle.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing West Virginia law to limit a landowner's liability when individuals operate all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on their property, specifically for invitees and licensees. The change is made within the definition of "charge," which refers to the money asked for permission to enter land for recreational purposes. Previously, this definition excluded activities sponsored by the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Authority and activities related to the authority itself. The bill adds an exception to this monetary cap for invitees and/or licensees operating vehicles as defined by a specific section of the code, thereby extending liability protection to landowners in these ATV-related scenarios.
