The bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes to enhance the regulation of drugs, vaccines, and cosmetics. It revises the definition of "drug" to include food containing a vaccine or vaccine material and introduces a new definition for "vaccine or vaccine material." The legislation establishes that a drug will be considered misbranded if it is a food containing a vaccine without proper labeling. Additionally, it requires cosmetics sold in Florida to provide public notice of certain added ingredients on a manufacturer-maintained website and prohibits the sale of cosmetics that release formaldehyde unless it is a natural byproduct without functional purpose. The bill also defines "messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine" (mRNA vaccine) and prohibits the use of fruits and vegetables as delivery mechanisms for mRNA vaccines.

Moreover, the bill introduces new provisions for restricted prescription drug distributors, specifying compliance with wholesale distributor requirements and mandating that applicants for permits provide necessary information to the department. It clarifies that a restricted prescription drug distributor permit is not required for certain distributions between pharmacies under common ownership in emergency situations. The bill updates legal references within existing statutes to ensure alignment with current definitions and conditions, such as changing references from s. 499.003(48) to s. 499.003(49). The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
