OK SB1605

Private property owners who allow dirtbike use on their land would be shielded from liability for injuries or deaths resulting from "inherent risks" of dirtbike riding, including surface variations, collisions with objects, operator error, and injuries aggravated by remote locations lacking medical facilities.

Participants using dirtbikes on private property legally assume inherent risks and cannot sue or recover damages from property owners for injuries stemming from those risks, regardless of whether a fee is paid.

Liability protection does not apply when property owners intentionally injure participants, commit gross negligence, provide knowingly unsafe dirtbikes, fail to exercise reasonable care, or engage in willful/wanton misconduct or criminal conduct.

Employer-employee relationships governed by the Administrative Workers' Compensation Act are excluded from this liability protection.

Effective date: November 1, 2026.
