Illinois Senate Bill 458 would exempt agricultural tourism operators from liability for the injury or death of a participant “resulting from the inherent risks of agritourism activities” if signage “in a clearly visible location at or near the entrance to the agritourism activity” states that the visitor is “assuming the risk of participating in this agritourism activity. Inherent risks associated with agritourism activities include, among others, risks of injury inherent to land, trees, plants, insects, equipment, weather, and animals, as well as the potential that if you act in a negligent manner, injury to yourself or others may occur. Under State law, the agritourism operator is not liable for the injury or death of a participant in an agritourism activity resulting from the inherent risks of agritourism activities.”
