Description
Agritourism and marine tourism activity liability. Uses similar language from the Agritourism Activity Liability Act, passed in 2006, for marine tourism activities conducted by commercial fishermen. Currently, only agritourism activities on land are covered by that act, although aquaculture is included as an agritourism activity. Amends § 28.2-1105, § 28.2-1107, of the Code of Virginia.
