AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Home Sweet Home Act," makes several changes to the regulation of cottage food operations in Florida. It revises the definition of "cottage food operation" to include entities in addition to natural persons, and increases the annual gross sales limitation for exempting cottage food operations from certain food and building permitting requirements from $50,000 to $250,000. The bill also authorizes the sale, offer for sale, and delivery of cottage food products by mail order, and preempts the regulation of cottage food operations to the state, prohibiting local governments from banning or regulating these operations. Cottage food operations must still comply with the conditions for operating a home-based business under existing state law.
