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.
However, the bill also outlines exceptions to this liability protection. Property owners can still be held accountable if they intentionally injure a participant, exhibit gross negligence, provide unsafe equipment, fail to exercise reasonable care, or engage in willful misconduct that leads to injury or death. This legislation aims to clarify the responsibilities and protections for both participants and property owners in the context of dirtbike activities on private land.
