ND SB2295

Expands the definition of "commercial purpose" to include inviting members of the public onto premises for recreational purposes as a means of encouraging business transactions or improving commercial activities.

Clarifies that land owners owe no duty of care to keep premises safe for recreational use and need not warn of dangerous conditions, regardless of whether entry is for the user's own recreational purposes or derived from others' recreational purposes.

Excludes from recreational immunity protections: persons entering to provide goods or services at an owner's request and direction, and owners engaged in for-profit business ventures that directly or indirectly invite the public onto premises for commercial purposes.
