Official abstract published by the Missouri legislature· abstract

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 HB 2852 (2026) and SB 626 (2025) and is similar to SB 1349 (2024). KATIE O'BRIEN
