AR HB1424

Creates the "Agritourism Act" as Arkansas Code Title 2, Chapter 11 to promote rural tourism and economic development by limiting civil liability for agritourism operators and participants

Defines "agritourism activity" as interactive or passive activities on farms, ranches, or agribusiness operations related to agriculture, food production, historic traditions, or nature-watching; excludes roadside produce stands and retail-only operations

Participants assume inherent risks of agritourism activities (animal behavior, natural hazards, equipment dangers, and participant negligence) unless operator commits reckless disregard, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or criminal conduct

Requires agritourism operators to post visible warning signage in black letters at least one inch high and include the warning in written contracts with participants describing inherent risks and liability limitations

Liability exceptions allow participants or operators to sue if the operator had knowledge of dangerous conditions or animal propensities and failed to disclose them, or failed to adequately train employees involved in the activity
