(3) The extent of liability exposure of the State, counties, and private landowners when allowing trails and accesses under their respective jurisdictions to be used by the general public; and
(4) Strategies to reduce or limit the liability exposure of the State, counties, and private landowners in order to promote public use of trails and accesses under their respective jurisdictions which are closed to the general public.
