LIABILITY/CIVIL: Provides a limitation of liability for owners of property used for recreational aviation activities

HB 163 (Louisiana) limits liability for owners of private airports used for recreational aviation. It states that private airport owners cannot be held liable for injuries or damages occurring when people fly or land aircraft for recreation on their property. The bill defines "airport" per existing state law and specifically applies to recreational use, not commercial operations. This provision directly affects private property owners who host recreational flying activities, shielding them from certain legal claims related to those activities. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
