Title of bill
An act to direct the superintendent of insurance to study the feasibility of developing and implementing a liability reform plan for private landowners who provide public access to their lands for various recreational activities; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
To task the Superintendent of Insurance to study ways to limit liability reform for landowners who allow their land to be used for various public recreational activities, and report the findings to Legislative Leaders and the Governor.
Summary of provisions
Section two requires the Superintendent of Insurance to study ways to limit liability reform for landowners who allow their land to be used for various public recreational activities. Section three requires the Superintendent of Insurance to report the findings of the study, within one calendar year, to the Governor, Speaker of the Assembly, Majority Leader of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Assembly, and the Minority Leader of the Senate.
Justification
If the study results in new legislative/regulatory approaches for land- owners who wish to provide public access for recreational purposes across their lands while insulating them from liability, the result will be more public recreational activities throughout the State.
