Provides limited civil liability immunity to farmers hosting agritourism activities.
New Jersey's S 76 provides limited legal protection for farmers hosting agritourism activities, such as pick-your-own farms, animal exhibits, or nature watching events. It shields agritourism hosts from liability for injuries caused by "inherent risks" (like animal behavior, weather, or land conditions) if they display a required warning notice at entrances and in written agreements. The bill explicitly excludes liability for gross negligence, intentional harm, or failure to disclose known dangers. This applies only to activities defined as agritourism - excluding roadside stands - and requires clear warnings to participants about assuming these risks.
