  1 12 operated owe no duty of care to keep the land safe for entry
  1 13 or use by persons operating an all-terrain vehicle or to give
  1 14 any warning of a dangerous condition, use, structure, or
  1 15 activity on such premises that would make the land unsafe for

  1 18 are amended to read as follows:
  1 19    14.  Any claim based upon or arising out of a claim of
  1 20 negligent design or specification, negligent adoption of
  1 21 design or specification, or negligent construction or
  1 22 reconstruction of a public facility designed for purposes of
  1 23 skateboarding, or in-line skating, bicycling, unicycling,
  1 24 scootering, river rafting, canoeing, or kayaking that was

  1 28 existence at the time of the construction or reconstruction.

  1 30 omission of an officer or employee of the municipality or the
  1 31 municipality's governing body by a person skateboarding, or
  1 32 in-line skating, bicycling, unicycling, scootering, river

  2  5 damage resulting from the risks inherent in the activities of
