HB 2852 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to liability for inherent risks of motocross activities

HB 2852 shields motocross facility operators from liability for injuries or deaths resulting from "inherent risks" of motocross activities, such as extreme weather, animal encounters, remote location challenges, or operator error. It directly affects participants (including amateurs and professionals) who can no longer sue operators for these specific risks, though operators remain liable for negligence, intentional harm, or unsafe equipment. Key provisions include defining "inherent risks," requiring clear warning signs at facilities, and excluding employer-employee claims. The law applies to all motocross facilities charging fees, effective upon passage.
