(WCTV\/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) &#8211; The Florida House is on track to approve the Florida Farm Bill after a committee removed a provision that would have expanded the state\u2019s non-disparagement clause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The current non-disparagement clause applies only to perishable food. The committee stripped a section that would have broadened that scope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The comprehensive legislation, which covers the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, would prevent local governments from restricting gas-powered equipment, ban solicitation at homes displaying no-solicitation signs and create a loan program for veterinarians who treat livestock and commit to remaining in Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Florida Senate passed an identical version of the bill last week. The House is expected to take up the measure for a full vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WCTV.
