HB 1638 Summary

• Enacts the Oklahoma Agritourism Activities Liability Limitations Act, providing liability protections for agritourism professionals and their activities.

• Defines agritourism activities as recreational, entertainment, or educational activities on farms or ranches including farming, ranching, harvest-your-own, and cultural activities.

• Grants agritourism professionals immunity from liability for participant injuries or death resulting from inherent risks of agritourism activities, including land hazards, animal behavior, and participant negligence.

• Requires agritourism professionals to post warning signs with 1-inch minimum letters at activity entrances and locations, and to include warnings in written contracts; failure to post warnings forfeits immunity protections.

• Preserves liability for agritourism professionals who commit negligence or willful/wanton disregard for safety, or who knowingly fail to disclose dangerous conditions or animal propensities.
