AI Summary
- Amends Code Section 51-3-25 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated to clarify when a landowner loses recreational use liability protections due to charging fees
- Changes the liability trigger from charging "the" person injured to charging "any" person or persons, meaning if the landowner charges anyone for recreational access on a given date, liability protections are lost for injuries to all users that day
- Adds the phrase "on a date" to specify that the relevant time frame for determining whether a charge was made is the specific date of injury
- Preserves the existing exception that lease payments received by a landowner who leases land to the state or a subdivision are not considered a "charge" under the statute
