Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to recreation safety; adding agritourism as a recreation activity for purposes of the Recreation Safety Act; providing and amending definitions; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Wyoming's Recreation Safety Act to add agritourism as a recognized recreational activity, providing a comprehensive definition for the term. Specifically, "agritourism" is defined as activities on agricultural properties that allow visitors to observe or participate in agricultural production, including tours, hands-on experiences, and hospitality services related to farming, ranching, or other agricultural enterprises. The bill expands the existing definition of "sport or recreational opportunity" to explicitly include agritourism alongside other activities like skiing, horseback riding, and hunting. By adding this definition, the bill likely aims to provide legal clarity and potentially extend certain liability protections to agricultural businesses that offer educational or recreational experiences to the public. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, giving agricultural businesses and local authorities time to prepare for and understand the new legal classification.
