The bill aims to protect amusement business owners by prohibiting counties and municipalities from implementing policies, ordinances, or regulations that require them to pay for the placement, parking, or storage of their equipment on agricultural lands for more than six months. This restriction applies specifically to agricultural lands that are five acres or larger, fully fenced, and where the equipment is located at least 100 feet from the perimeter fencing.
Additionally, the bill defines "agricultural lands" as parcels classified as such by property appraisers and specifies that an "amusement business owner" is someone who provides services related to circuses or carnivals, including rides, food, and games, on a seasonal or temporary basis. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
