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. This description must include detailed explanations of each service, must not contain false or misleading information, and must be provided without charge. Additionally, the bill defines key terms related to animal cremation, such as "commingling," "communal cremation," and "individually partitioned cremation," to ensure clarity in the services offered.

The bill also imposes penalties for unlawful acts, such as providing false information or failing to distribute the required written descriptions. Civil penalties for initial and subsequent offenses are specified, along with provisions for a private right of action for individuals harmed by violations. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is granted authority to investigate violations, issue subpoenas, and impose fines, which will be deposited into the General Inspection Trust Fund. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
