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 educational, entertainment, historical, cultural, or recreational activities conducted on farms, such as you-pick operations and corn mazes. It also specifies the inherent risks associated with these activities, which include conditions of the land, behavior of animals, and potential personal injury or property damage.

Furthermore, the bill provides legal immunity for agritourism providers against civil liability for personal injuries or property damage sustained by participants during agritourism activities, as long as the injuries result from inherent risks. However, this immunity does not apply if the agritourism provider is found to be negligent, acts with willful disregard for safety, purposefully causes harm, or engages in criminal conduct that results in injury or damage. This legislation aims to promote agritourism while ensuring a level of protection for both providers and participants.
