History. Code 1981, § 51-3-3 , enacted by Ga. L. 2014, p. 351, § 2/SB 125.
Editor’s notes.
Ga. L. 2014, p. 351, § 1/SB 125, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: “It is the intent of the General Assembly to codify and preserve Georgia common law regarding the duties owed by possessors of land to trespassers as of January 1, 2014. The General Assembly finds that the provisions of the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm, §§ 50-52 (2012), which seek to impose broad new duties on those who own, occupy, or control premises, including the duty to exercise reasonable care to all trespassers, do not reflect the public policy of the State of Georgia. It is also the intent of the General Assembly to preserve the attractive nuisance doctrine and Georgia common law as it relates to the attractive nuisance doctrine.”
