SB 1536-Relating to Agricultural Practices
On Tuesday, March 21st, SB 1536, by Senator Keith Perry (R-Gainesville), was heard by the Senate Committee on Agriculture and passed by a vote of 5 yeas to 0 nays. AIF stood in support of this bill.

This bill clarifies that livestock, poultry and aquaculture medical supplies are exempt from sales tax. The bill repeals a supplemental pesticide registration fee which was added to bi-annual pesticide registrations. The bill also expands the travel radius limitations on the state restricted agricultural tag from "150" miles to statewide.

SB 1536 will now go to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Finance and Tax to be heard.

AIF SUPPORTS the various provisions of this bill which help our agricultural industry remain competitive and continue to be a driving force in Florida's economy.
