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 contrary to its labeling, or if the manufacturer is not subject to Florida's jurisdiction.

Furthermore, the bill specifically addresses products liability actions based on failure to warn, stating that such claims cannot be maintained against manufacturers of pesticides registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) if the product label is approved by the EPA and aligns with the latest health assessments and carcinogenicity classifications. This provision aims to ensure that compliance with federal regulations regarding pesticide labeling is sufficient to protect manufacturers from liability claims related to warnings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
