Bill > S0398

This bill expands 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 broadens the exemption for farm equipment to include irrigation equipment, repairs for both power farm equipment and irrigation equipment, and certain trailers weighing 12,000 pounds or less and costing less than $20,000, which are used by farmers for agricultural production or transporting farm products. Additionally, the bill exempts stakes used by farmers to support plants during agricultural production.
