HB473 Summary

• Establishes the "Landowners Protection Act" to shield landowners from liability for damages arising from hunting or fishing activities on leased property.

• Landowners who lease property for hunting or fishing purposes shall not be liable for any damages to any person based on use of the leased property for these purposes.

• Does not affect the liability of third parties who lease the land, meaning liability protections do not extend to intermediate lessees or operators.

• Repeals all conflicting laws and becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and gubernatorial approval.
