2012 Vermont Statutes
Title 12 Court Procedure
Chapter 203 LIMITATIONS ON LANDOWNER LIABILITY
§ 5791 Purpose
12 V.S.A. § 5791. What's This?
§ 5791. Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to encourage owners to make their land and water available to the public for no consideration for recreational uses by clearly establishing a rule that an owner shall have no greater duty of care to a person who, without consideration, enters or goes upon the owner's land for a recreational use than the owner would have to a trespasser. (Added 1997, No. 110 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
