Cave Protection Act

The Cave Protection Act is a conservation measure governing caves and the natural, cultural, and other resources found within them. It limits the liability of landowners for injury, mental harm, or death suffered by people who enter their land — including its cave resources — for recreational, educational, or scientific purposes, thereby encouraging owners to allow such access. Violations of the act are enforced as a criminal offense, punishable as a misdemeanor.
