"This bill sets forth limits on the civil liability of private property owners to
trespassers. Under the bill, a private property owner, including a lawful tenant or
other occupant of private property, owes no duty of care to a trespasser on his or her
property and may not be found liable for an act or omission relating to a condition
on his or her property that causes injury or death to a trespasser, except under
certain circumstances. The bill defines a trespasser as anyone who enters onto
private property without the express or implied consent of the property owner and
sets forth criteria for determining whether the owner gave implied consent to enter
onto the property.
Under the bill, a private property owner may be liable for injuries that he or she
intentionally causes to a trespasser, unless the private property owner was acting
reasonably in self−defense or in the defense of another."
