SB 303 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to civil liability to persons using certain premises for recreational activity under certain circumstances. (BDR 3-1021)

SB 303 amends Nevada’s Recreational Use of Land Statute (NRS 41.510) to clarify when landowners are protected from liability for injuries during recreational activities. It specifically states that liability protection does not apply if: (1) an occupant (like a paid contractor) causes injury while improving the premises, or (2) the premises are residential common areas or urban public infrastructure. This affects landowners who allow recreational use and individuals injured on such property, while maintaining the core principle that landowners generally owe no duty to keep recreational areas safe. The bill adds a legislative intent statement emphasizing its goal of encouraging land access for recreation.

What changed between versions

Reprint 2 → As Enrolled · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill finalizes the text of SB 303, converting it from a committee reprint to its final enrolled version for signing into law. The substantive policy content remains identical to the previous version, establishing a 'Recreational Use of Land Statute' that limits liability for the State, political subdivisions, nonprofits, and private landowners who allow public recreational use of their property. The changes are purely administrative, removing draft markers and formatting inconsistencies to prepare the bill for official enactment.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Reprint 2' header and committee referral dates, as these are no longer relevant once the bill is finalized.

Added the official 'Chapter' placeholder and session number (83rd Session, 2025) to the header, standardizing the format for the enrolled bill.

Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and statutory text to remove line numbers and draft annotations, ensuring the final text is clean and ready for publication.
