SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Agritourism activity liability.  Limits the liability of persons engaged in the business of providing agritourism activities, which include activities carried out on a farm, ranch, or winery that allow members of the public to view or enjoy rural activities or natural activities and attractions. The immunity from liability applies only if the agritourism provider has posted a warning notice. Liability is not limited if the agritourism provider acts with negligence or willful or wanton disregard for the safety of the participant, has actual or imputed knowledge of a dangerous condition used in the activity and does not make the danger known to the participant, or intentionally injures the participant. In addition, the provider is required to plead the affirmative defense of assumption of risk of agritourism activity by the participant.
