The bill amends the definition of "farm product" in section 163.3162 of the Florida Statutes to specify that it includes "plants and plant products," regardless of whether they are edible or nonedible, as well as any animal useful to humans and products derived from them. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the collection, storage, processing, and distribution of farm products are activities of bona fide farm operations that cannot be prohibited, restricted, or regulated by governmental entities, provided these activities adhere to best management practices or are regulated by relevant federal or state agencies.

Furthermore, the bill reenacts a provision in section 163.3177 that defines "rural agricultural industrial center," ensuring it aligns with the updated definition of "farm product." The bill aims to protect agricultural operations from excessive regulation while promoting the agricultural industry in Florida. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
