The proposed bill establishes a new section in Arkansas law concerning the use of dirtbikes on private property, specifically addressing the liability of property owners. It defines key terms such as "dirtbike," "inherent risk of dirtbike use," "owner of private property," and "participant." The bill stipulates that participants assume the inherent risks associated with dirtbike use and cannot hold property owners liable for injuries or death resulting from these risks.
Additionally, the bill outlines exceptions to this liability protection, indicating that property owners can still be held accountable in cases of intentional harm, gross negligence, or if they provide unsafe equipment knowingly. The legislation aims to clarify the responsibilities and protections for both participants and property owners in the context of dirtbike activities, thereby promoting safer practices while also limiting legal exposure for property owners.
