Governor veto blocks agri tourism liability shield
Governor Kathleen Sebelius vetoed a bill shielding farm tourism and horseback venture operators from personal injury lawsuits. She argued tourism growth is welcome but immunity would risk public safety, noting some immunity might be appropriate yet complete relief from duty of care makes no sense. The measure would have barred public suits for injuries during horse riding or farm activities unless malice or willful failure to warn occurred, while current law already immunizes landowners hosting recreation.
