What’s in it

This bill provides an exemption from tort liability arising from winter recreational activities on commercial property. The bill provides that a person who owns or controls commercial property shall be immune from liability from any claim for injury or damages based upon or arising out of claim of negligence against such a person, if the person can show that the injury or damages occurred from voluntary sledding, tubing, or other related winter recreational activity on commercial property, that the claimed injuries or damages resulted from the normal and expected risks inherent in the activity, and that the injured person knew or reasonably should have known that the recreational activity created a substantial risk of injuries.
