I found this on the MTBR forum and thought it would be a good idea to post it here.



"Landowner liability in NH is limited by the recreational use statute, RSA 508-14. Another statute, RSA 212:34 is known as the Duty of Care statute, which essentially absolves landowners from liability for allowing people to use their land at no charge.

Rep. Gene Chandler has introduced legislation to include bicycles as a named activity in RSA 212:34 via House Bill HB191. If mountain biking is specifically mentioned in the RSA it may help ease liability concerns of landowners, and make it easier to open up new riding opportunities (and technical trail features). Gene has asked me to gather some folks to testify for the bill next Tuesday, January 27th at 11:30 am in room 208 of the legislative office building in Concord, NH. A list of the Committee members can be found here; people attending from the committee members' towns would be particularly helpful."
