AN ACT CONCERNING LIABILITY FOR AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS ENGAGED IN AGRITOURISM.

SB 1021 limits liability for agricultural operations offering agritourism activities (like farm tours, pumpkin patches, or hayrides) by requiring visitors to assume inherent risks. The bill mandates that farms post a clearly visible sign informing visitors they accept these risks, such as injuries from animal handling or farm equipment. This directly affects both farm operators, who gain protection from certain lawsuits, and visitors who must acknowledge the risks before participating. The law changes existing liability rules by shifting responsibility to visitors when the required sign is displayed, without altering general safety standards.
