House Bill No. [insert number] proposes to enact R.S. 9:2791.2, which establishes a limitation of liability for private landowners who allow the recreational use of their land for aeronautical activities at nonpublic use airports. The bill defines "aeronautical activities" to encompass various operations related to aircraft and airports, and it clarifies that a "nonpublic use airport" is primarily used by the owner with limited access for others. The legislation specifies that landowners who permit such use, whether or not they charge a fee, are not liable for injuries or damages resulting from defects in the land, except in cases of willful or malicious failure to warn about dangerous conditions.

Additionally, the bill outlines definitions for terms such as "charge," "land," "malicious," and "owner," and it emphasizes that the limitation of liability applies to all lands or water bottoms owned, leased, or managed by the landowner, regardless of their intended use. The proposed law retains existing provisions regarding limited liability for property owners not primarily engaged in commercial recreational activities, thereby extending these protections to include aeronautical activities at nonpublic use airports.
