Plain Language Summary
# AGRITOURISM Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The AGRITOURISM Act (S 3392) aims to support and promote agritourism—activities where farms and rural properties offer experiences to visitors, such as farm tours, pick-your-own operations, petting zoos, or educational workshops. While the bill's specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, agritourism legislation typically focuses on helping farmers diversify their income, clarifying liability protections, or providing tax incentives for these tourism-related farm activities. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily benefit farmers and rural landowners looking to generate additional revenue through visitor experiences. It could also affect rural communities seeking economic development, tourists interested in farm experiences, and potentially agricultural agencies responsible for regulation and support. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet advanced to a full Senate vote.
As a recently introduced bill (119th Congress), it's in the early stages of the legislative process. The bill was sponsored by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), reflecting potential interest from agricultural states. *Note: Complete details about specific provisions aren't available in the summary provided.
