SB 1283 - This act provides that an operator, including employees or agents thereof, that sponsors, organizes, rents, or provides the opportunity to use any motocross vehicle by a participant of a motocross activity at a motocross facility shall not be liable for an injury to or the death of a participant resulting from the inherent risks of motocross activities. However, nothing in this act shall prevent or limit the liability if the operator:
(1) Intentionally injures the participant;
(2) Commits an act or omission that constitutes negligence and that negligence is the proximate cause of the injury or death of a participant;
(3) Provides unsafe equipment or an unsafe motocross vehicle to a participant and knew or should have known that the furnished equipment or motocross vehicle was unsafe; or
(4) Fails to use that degree of care that an ordinarily careful and prudent person would use under the same or similar circumstances.

Additionally, a sign or written warning containing a notice, described in this act, shall be posted and maintained in a clearly visible location on or near areas where the motocross activities are conducted.

This act is identical to SB 626 (2025) and is similar to SB 1349 (2024).
