SB 1010 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Limiting landowner liability for operation of all-terrain vehicles

SB 1010 limits landowner liability when all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are operated for recreational purposes on private property under specific conditions. It defines "noncommercial recreational activity" to include ATV riding and sets a $50 annual charge cap per participant for such use - landowners cannot be held liable if this cap is not exceeded. The bill applies to landowners who allow recreational ATV use without charging more than $50 yearly per rider, excluding commercial operations or activities exceeding this limit. This change aims to protect landowners from lawsuits related to ATV accidents during permitted recreational use.
