Bill > H0249

This bill expands existing sales and use tax exemptions for agricultural producers in Florida by redefining "livestock" to include certified aquaculture species and clarifying that "agricultural production" encompasses the storage of raw products on the farm. It also exempts irrigation equipment, along with its repairs and replacement parts, from sales and use tax, and provides a partial exemption for trailers weighing 12,000 pounds or less purchased by farmers for exclusive use in agricultural production or transporting farm products. Additionally, stakes used to support plants during agricultural production are now exempt from sales and use tax.
