Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

Summary

HB 433 amends dozens of sections of the Florida Statutes that govern the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. It defines gasoline‑powered farm and landscape equipment and blocks local bans on them, tightens rules for development on ecologically significant parcels, updates licensing, penalties and procurement requirements, and creates new loan and seed‑research programs. The changes would affect farmers, local governments, contractors, and consumers across the state.
