This bill amends section 585.713 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for dog breeders regarding registration and renewal fees. It mandates that each dog breeder must apply for a certificate of registration with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and that each application must be accompanied by a registration fee determined by the department, which cannot exceed $500. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the certificate must be renewed annually, contingent upon the breeder's compliance with relevant regulations and payment of an annual renewal fee, also capped at $500.

Furthermore, the bill requires the department to notify dog breeders of their annual renewal fee and the renewal date 60 days prior to the expiration of their certificate. This notification will include the applicable fee, ensuring that breeders are adequately informed of their obligations. The act is set to take effect concurrently with SB 1830 or similar legislation, provided that such legislation is enacted within the same legislative session or an extension thereof.
