The bill establishes a new section, 501.961, in the Florida Statutes, titled "Animal Cremation," which outlines regulations for providers of companion animal cremation services. It mandates that these providers must offer a written description of their services to pet owners, veterinarians, and other entities that refer clients, ensuring that the information is clear, detailed, and free from false or misleading claims. The bill defines key terms related to cremation practices, such as "commingling," "communal cremation," and "individually partitioned cremation," and sets forth requirements for the certification of cremation remains returned to pet owners.

Additionally, the bill outlines unlawful acts related to the provision of cremation services, including the distribution of misleading information and false certifications, with specified civil penalties for violations. It grants the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services the authority to investigate and enforce compliance, including the ability to impose fines and issue cease and desist orders. The act also allows individuals harmed by violations to pursue civil action for damages. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
