SB203

Senate Bill 203 seeks to establish a legal framework for recreational tramways and outdoor recreation areas in Arkansas. The bill outlines the inherent risks associated with outdoor activities and mandates that participants assume responsibility for their own safety. It defines specific duties for both recreational tramway operators and participants, including requirements for the safe operation, maintenance, and annual inspection of tramways in accordance with the ANSI Ski Lift Code. Operators are tasked with providing instructions to users upon request and maintaining proper signage. Participants are held responsible for exercising reasonable care, adhering to posted rules, and staying within their personal ability levels. The bill also establishes liability limitations, clarifying when operators may not be held responsible for injuries, and defines unauthorized persons in these areas as trespassers.
