New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Agritourism and Farm Animal Activity Liability Act. Makes legislative findings including that the use and exhibition of farm animals significantly contributes to the Illinois economy and these activities have inherent risks. Provides definitions for terms that include agritourism activity, agritourism and farm animal professional, and inherent risks of farm animal and agritourism activity. Provides that an agritourism and farm animal activity professional is not liable for injury to or death of a participant in an activity if the professional provided a specified written warning, did not engage in willful and wanton disregard for the participant's safety, and did not fail to warn of a known danger.
