Committee advances House Bill 2400 to include trail rides in agritourism and ranching definitions
Summary
House Bill 2400 would add trail rides as an agricultural/ranching activity for property-tax classification and agritourism programs and extend certain liability protections; the committee passed the bill favorably.
A committee voted to pass House Bill 2400, which would add trail rides to the state definitions of ranching and agritourism for two purposes: qualifying land for agricultural property-tax treatment and including trail rides in the state agritourism program. Legislative staff told the committee the change would also affect certain liability protections tied to agritourism activities.
The revisor described the bill as ensuring trail rides are explicitly included as ranching activity within the state’s agritourism and property-tax frameworks. Committee members offered no amendments and moved to pass the bill favorably. The motion passed by voice vote.
The bill was presented as unchanged from a previous filing and was sent forward by the committee for further consideration.
