AI Summary
- Amends O.C.G.A. § 51-3-25 to clarify that a landowner's liability for recreational use injuries applies specifically on dates when the owner charges an admission fee and an individual is injured in connection with the recreational use for which the charge was made
- Narrows the liability trigger from "any case" where a fee is charged to only those instances where the injury is connected to the specific recreational use associated with the charge
- Specifies that the provision applies to individuals who "lawfully enter" the land, replacing broader language covering any "person or persons" who "enter or go on" the land
- Preserves the existing exception that lease payments received by a landowner from the state or a subdivision thereof are not considered a "charge" under the recreational use liability statute
- Passed both the Georgia House and Senate during the 2018 legislative session
