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 stipulates that a products liability action based on a failure to warn cannot be maintained against a manufacturer of any pesticide 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 or carcinogenicity classifications. This provision aims to ensure that compliance with federal labeling standards protects manufacturers from liability claims related to warnings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
