The bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes to enhance the operations of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, focusing on agricultural practices, housing for agricultural workers, and regulatory compliance. Key provisions include the establishment of criteria for housing sites for verified agricultural workers, prohibiting local governments from enacting restrictive legislation, and allowing for the removal of non-compliant housing. The bill also introduces a Florida Aquaculture Foundation to support aquaculture initiatives, a silviculture emergency recovery program for timber landowners, and a Florida beef marketing program to bolster the state's cattle industry. Additionally, it creates a new annual petroleum registration program and a grant program for modernizing fuel transfer switch infrastructure.

Further amendments address mosquito control, pest control certification, and charitable organization registration, enhancing regulatory oversight and compliance. The bill emphasizes the importance of integrated management plans for mosquito control and updates definitions related to food safety, including penalties for mislabeling plant-based products. It also introduces the Florida Farmer Financial Protection Act to prevent discrimination against agricultural producers based on ESG factors. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline processes, enhance support for agricultural producers, and improve regulatory frameworks across various sectors in Florida.
