This bill establishes regulations regarding the placement, parking, or storage of equipment owned by amusement business owners on agricultural lands. It defines "agricultural lands" as parcels classified as such by the property appraiser and "amusement business owner" as those providing services affiliated with circuses or carnivals, who operate on a seasonal or temporary basis. The bill prohibits counties and municipalities from enacting any policies, ordinances, or regulations that require payment from amusement business owners for the placement of their equipment on agricultural lands classified as 5 acres or larger, provided that the land is fully fenced and the equipment is located at least 100 feet from the perimeter.
The bill aims to protect amusement business owners from financial burdens related to the storage of their equipment on agricultural lands for periods of 6 months or longer. It is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
