Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an owner of land leased to the state or its political 
subdivisions for recreational purposes owes no duty of care to keep that land safe for entry or 
use by others or to give warning to persons entering or going upon such land of any hazardous 
conditions, uses, structures, or activities thereon. An owner who leases land to the state or its 
political subdivisions for recreational purposes does not by giving such lease:

1. Extend any assurance to any person using the land that the premises are safe for any 
purpose;
2. Confer upon such persons the legal status of an invitee or licensee to whom a duty of 
care is owed; or
3. Assume responsibility for or incur liability for any injury to person or property caused 
by an act or omission of a person who enters upon the leased land.
The provisions of this section apply whether the person entering upon the leased land is an 
invitee, licensee, trespasser, or otherwise.
