Agritourism professionals are immune from liability for injury, damage, or death of participants resulting from inherent risks of agritourism activities, effective August 1, 2015.

Inherent risks include natural hazards and land conditions, behavior of wild or domestic animals, and ordinary dangers of farming or ranching structures and equipment.

Liability immunity does not apply if the agritourism professional commits negligence or willful/wanton disregard for participant safety, has actual knowledge of dangerous conditions or animal propensities, intentionally injures the participant, or fails to post required warning signs.

Agritourism professionals must post plainly visible warning signs at prominent locations describing the inherent risks of agritourism activities to maintain immunity protection.

The law does not affect claims under chapter 340A or claims arising from alcohol sales or use at agritourism facilities.
