An Act To Expand Landowner Liability Protections To Include Sport Shooting Ranges

This bill expands Maine's existing landowner liability protections to specifically include sport shooting ranges. It amends state law to define "sport shooting" as activities like archery, skeet/trap shooting, and rifle/shotgun use, and states that landowners who permit these activities on their property cannot be held liable for participant injuries. The law directly affects landowners who operate or allow access to shooting ranges, as well as participants using those facilities. This change clarifies that current liability protections for recreational activities now explicitly cover sport shooting, reducing legal risks for landowners who host such ranges.
