House Bill No. [insert number] aims to establish a limitation of liability for private landowners who allow recreational aeronautical activities at nonpublic use airports in Louisiana. The bill introduces new legal language under R.S. 9:2791.2, defining key terms such as "aeronautical activities," "charge," "land," and "owner." It specifies that landowners will not be liable for losses or damages related to emergency landings, except in cases of willful or malicious failure to warn about dangerous conditions. Additionally, the bill clarifies that these liability limitations apply to land leased for recreational purposes to government entities or private individuals unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes that it does not absolve individuals using the land for recreational purposes from their responsibility to exercise care during their activities. This legislation seeks to encourage the use of private land for aeronautical activities while providing legal protections for landowners against potential liability claims.
