Hunter-Landowner Council backs trespass and liability law changes
The Hunter-Landowner Council urged revisions to state trespass and landowner liability laws to improve hunter land access. They backed Assembly Bill 408 to shield landowners from injury lawsuits during recreational use and to decriminalize trespassing, replacing a Class C misdemeanor with a traffic-like offense. The bill proposes fines up to 1000 dollars and citation-based enforcement, aiming for quicker response to landowner complaints. AB 408 has one hearing and awaits Judiciary Committee action.
