The proposed bill aims to restrict counties and municipalities in Florida from implementing policies, ordinances, or regulations that require amusement business owners to pay for the placement, parking, or storage of their equipment on agricultural lands of five acres or larger for a duration of six months or longer. This prohibition is contingent upon the agricultural land being fully fenced and the equipment being located at least 100 feet from the perimeter fencing.
Additionally, the bill defines "agricultural lands" as parcels classified as such by property appraisers and specifies that an "amusement business owner" refers to those who provide services related to circuses or carnivals, including rides, food, and games, on a seasonal or temporary basis at fairs or fundraising events. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
