HB 137- Relating to Civil Liability of Farmers
On Tuesday, April 14th, HB 137, relating to Civil Liability of Farmers, by Rep. Kevin Rader (D-Boca Raton) unanimously passed through its last committee stop in the House Judiciary Committee with 18 yeas and 0 nays.

HB 137 addresses an exemption from civil liability for farmers who allow citizens onto their land to harvest excess crops.

This bill will now head to the House floor for a vote, along with the Senate companion bill SB 158 by Senator Greg Evers (R-Pensacola), which has already passed unanimously through the Senate chamber. AIF continues to support this bill.

AIF supports legislation that will reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits brought against Florida’s business owners.
