LAB-GROWN MEAT BANNED UNDER NEW FLORIDA LAW

Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill banning the distribution and sale of
cultivated meat statewide.

WAUCHULA, Fla. - Governor DeSantis signed a bill outlawing the sale and
manufacturing of lab-grown meat at a press conference in Hardee County on
Wednesday. 

DeSantis spoke at the Hardee County Cattleman's Arena in Wauchula where he
signed Senate Bill 1084 into law. SB 1084 makes several changes within the
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, namely prohibiting the
manufacture, sale, holding, or distribution of ‘cultivated meat’ in Florida.

In addition to the ban on lab-grown meat, the bill preempts local governments
from regulating electric vehicle charging stations. It also will increase
criminal penalties for people who commit crimes on Florida farms.

"In the State of Florida, we've put down the marker very clearly: we stand with
agriculture," DeSantis said. "We stand with the cattle ranchers. We stand with
our farmers. Because we understand it's important for the backbone of the state,
it's important for the culture, it's important for our heritage." 

DeSantis also awarded $6 million to Hardee County for developing an industrial
site through the Job Growth Grant Fund. The award will go toward constructing a
40,000-square-foot warehouse for new companies moving to the area.

The governor was joined by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services Commissioner Wilton Simpson. 

"Florida is making a tremendous step in the right direction by signing
first-in-the-nation legislation banning lab-grown meat," Simpson said.
"Lab-grown meat is a disgraceful attempt to undermine our proud traditions and
prosperity, and is in direct opposition to authentic agriculture."
