HB 114 Agritourism; notice posted on signs to read "ATTENTION" rather than "WARNING" at locations.

Introduced by: Barry D. Knight | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Warning notice at agritourism location. Provides the operators of agritourism locations with the option of using the terms "WARNING" or "ATTENTION" on signage or contracts that indicate the operator's immunity from liability in the case of injury or death while at the facility. If such notice is not provided, the operator cannot invoke the immunity privilege.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Warning notice at agritourism location. Replaces the word "warning" with the word "attention" in the notice posted on signs at agritourism locations and included in contracts with agritourism professionals. Under the existing provisions of the Agritourism Activity Liability law, in order to avoid any liability for injury or death of participants in an agritourism activity, the agritourism profession is required to post a warning notice that there are inherent risks in engaging in the agritourism activity taking place on the property.
