Farmers engaged in standard agricultural practices receive immunity from civil liability for PFAS-related damages in soil, water, or agricultural products

Establishes two new state funds: the Agricultural PFAS Relief Fund to assist farmers with testing, remediation, health needs, and business adaptation costs; and the Agricultural Fertilizer Purchasing Fund to help commercial farmers with increased fertilizer costs due to PFAS product bans

Prohibits the application of biosolids (sewage sludge) on land and bans the sale of fertilizers or soil amendments containing measurable PFAS, requiring manufacturers to test products and report results publicly

Exempts farmland removed from agricultural use due to PFAS contamination from conveyance taxes and roll-back taxes under Chapter 61A

Requires the state to develop a comprehensive statewide sludge disposal master plan by December 31, 2026, and to reimburse municipalities 100% for additional sludge disposal costs resulting from the biosolids ban
