Relates to noncommercial aviation
This bill amends New York's General Obligations Law to remove a property owner's legal duty to keep premises safe for noncommercial aviation activities. It directly affects property owners (such as landowners or business operators) who host noncommercial aviation, like private flights or recreational flying. The key provision adds "noncommercial aviation" to a list of activities - alongside hiking, fishing, or hang gliding - where owners owe no duty to maintain safety or warn about hazards. The law change takes effect immediately upon passage.
