The bill amends Section 585.713 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to the registration and inspection of dog breeders. It requires dog breeders to pay both a registration fee and an annual renewal fee, with the amounts to be determined by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Importantly, the bill establishes a cap on these fees, stating that neither the registration fee nor the annual renewal fee may exceed $500. Additionally, the department is mandated to notify certificate holders of the renewal fee at least 60 days prior to the renewal date.

The bill also outlines the process for registration and renewal, stipulating that applications must be submitted on a form provided by the department and accompanied by the appropriate fees. It allows for penalties for late filing, capped at $500, but permits the department to extend the renewal date without penalty for up to 90 days under certain circumstances. The act is contingent upon the passage of HB 1481 or similar legislation, taking effect simultaneously if adopted within the same legislative session.
