SB82 limits the ability of local governments to prohibit vegetable gardens on residential properties.
The Florida State Senate passed SB82 on March 21, 2019 by a vote of 35 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill is a win for property rights. The ability to keep a vegetable garden on one’s private property is a common-sense legal allowance, and variously protected under the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, notably in the 4th and 5th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
