Overview
This bill provides limited civil liability immunity to farmers who host agritourism activities. It defines ‘agritourism activity’ as interactive or passive farming-related events like pick-your-own operations or nature watching, excluding retail sales. Farmers would not be liable for injuries resulting from inherent risks, provided they post a specific warning notice. However, immunity wouldn't apply in cases of gross negligence, intentional harm, or willful misconduct. The bill also repeals a previous law addressing ‘pick-your-own’ operations.
