Plain-language summary
This bill changes how agritourism activities are defined in state law and adds a protection preventing local governments, such as cities and counties, from blocking people from taking part in agritourism activities. It also requires that these activities still follow existing public health and safety rules that local governments can enforce. The change would set a statewide standard for what counts as an agritourism activity while keeping some local oversight in place. Who it may affect: farm owners and operators who offer agritourism activities, visitors to those farms, and local government officials responsible for public health and safety.
