This bill updates the legal definition of agritourism activities and adds "working animal" as a defined term. It would prevent cities, counties, and other local governments from blocking people from conducting agritourism activities on their property, while still requiring those activities to follow public health, safety, and existing local laws. Who it may affect: farm owners and operators who offer agritourism experiences, local governments, and rural communities where agritourism takes place.
