This bill introduces new provisions under the Florida Pesticide Law, specifically creating section 487.082, which outlines the conditions under which products liability actions can be brought against pesticide manufacturers and related parties. It prohibits such actions unless specific criteria are met, including instances where the distributor, dealer, applicator, registrant, or agricultural employer had substantial control over the product's design, testing, manufacture, or labeling, or if they altered the product in a way that contributed to the alleged harm. Additionally, it allows for liability if the product was used inconsistently with its label, or if the manufacturer is not subject to the jurisdiction of Florida.

Furthermore, the bill specifically restricts failure to warn claims against manufacturers of pesticides registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) if the product label is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and aligns with the latest health assessments or carcinogenicity classifications. This provision ensures that compliance with federal labeling standards satisfies state requirements for health and safety warnings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
