Clarifies that certain beach owners and lessees have no duty to keep beach safe or to warn of hazards; provides immunity from liability, in certain cases, for injuries occurring on beach or in adjacent waters.

This bill (S 1709) removes legal duties and liability for private beach owners/lessees who allow public access for recreation. It states they have no obligation to keep beaches safe or post warning signs when the beach is unguarded (no lifeguard on-site). Owners also cannot be sued for injuries occurring on unguarded beaches or during guarded times, except in cases of willful misconduct, negligence by the owner/lifeguard, or gross negligence when visitors use the beach for non-public purposes. The law directly affects private beach operators and beachgoers who might seek compensation for injuries.
