MS SB2901

Creates the "Landowners Protection Act" limiting civil liability of property owners, lessees, operators, and managers for injuries caused by willful, wanton, or intentional conduct of third parties on their commercial or other real property.

Requires injured parties to prove by preponderance of evidence that the property owner's conduct actively and affirmatively impelled the third party's conduct and that the third party's conduct proximately caused the damages.

Establishes that "atmosphere of violence" can only be established by three or more similar violent incidents within three years on the same property resulting in three or more separate felony arraignments.

Requires property owners to have actual (not constructive) knowledge of a third party's prior violent nature to be held civilly liable based on that history.

Amends Section 85-5-7 to include intentional torts in the definition of "fault" for premises-liability actions involving third-party violent conduct and takes effect July 1, 2019.
