This bill amends the Agritourism Promotion Act by exempting certain registered agritourism operations from local code and regulation enforcement. Specifically, it prohibits cities and counties from enforcing building codes or other ordinances related to health and safety, property maintenance, and facility usage for nonpublic registered agritourism locations. A nonpublic registered agritourism location is defined as one where agricultural activities are the only activities conducted, and access is granted to the general public only by specific invitation. The bill clarifies that this exemption does not apply to locations that sell goods or services not produced on-site or where the public can access the property without an invitation.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 32-1432 by redefining "agritourism activity" to include activities accessible to the public only by specific invitation from the registered agritourism operator. It also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 32-1432. The changes aim to promote agritourism by reducing regulatory burdens on operators while ensuring that certain safety and operational standards are maintained. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
