Outdoor recreational premises; include use of ATVs and off-road vehicles.

HB 971 clarifies that Mississippi landowners who allow recreational use of their property (including ATVs and off-road vehicles) maintain legal immunity from liability for injuries, as long as they don’t charge fees or operate concessions. The bill expands the definition of "outdoor recreational purposes" in state law to explicitly include ATVs and off-road vehicles, aligning with existing immunity protections. It maintains that landowners owe no duty of care for safety or hazardous conditions, unless the injury was deliberate or malicious. This change directly affects landowners who host recreational users and users of ATVs/off-road vehicles on private property.
