Adds rock climbing, bouldering, and ice climbing to definition of "sport and recreational activities" in law concerning landowner liability.
This bill adds rock climbing, bouldering, and ice climbing to the list of "sport and recreational activities" covered under New Jersey's Landowners' Liability Act. It clarifies that landowners who grant permission for these activities on their property - without payment - are not automatically liable for injuries that occur during them. The law already provides similar protections for activities like hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling. This change ensures consistent legal treatment for these climbing sports under the state's liability framework.
