The bill amends Section 32-6-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 32-6, which pertains to "Public Use of Private Lands - Liability Limitations." A significant change in the bill is the definition of "Owner," which now excludes the state and municipalities from being considered as owners for liability purposes. This alteration aims to clarify the responsibilities and protections related to private land use for recreational activities.
The bill also includes definitions for terms such as "Charge," "Land," "Occupant," "Person in control of the premises," "Recreational purposes," and "User," ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the chapter's provisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
