The proposed bill, Substitute Bill No. 6241, aims to establish a legal framework for agritourism activities in the state, effective October 1, 2025. It defines key terms related to agritourism, including "agriculture," "agritourism," "agritourism provider," "farm," "participant," and "risk inherent in an agritourism activity." The bill outlines that agritourism encompasses various agriculture-related activities that invite public participation, such as you-pick operations and farm markets. It also specifies the inherent risks associated with these activities, which include natural land conditions, animal behavior, and potential negligence by participants.

Furthermore, the bill provides liability protections for agritourism providers, stating that they will be immune from civil liability for personal injuries or property damage incurred by participants due to inherent risks of agritourism activities. However, this immunity does not apply if the agritourism provider is found to be negligent, intentionally harmful, or engaged in criminal conduct that results in harm to a participant. This legislation aims to promote agritourism while ensuring safety and accountability for both providers and participants.
