Flower Sales Modifications

HB 483 modifies Utah's regulations around cut flower sales by preventing local governments from banning such sales if a person grows flowers on their private property. It requires municipalities and counties to allow residents to sell cut flowers from home-grown plants (if permitted to grow flowers there), while permitting localities to require business licenses for these sales - though licenses cannot be denied solely because someone grows or sells cut flowers. The bill directly affects homeowners who grow flowers for personal use and want to sell cut flowers, as well as local governments that regulate business activities. It takes effect on May 6, 2026, and does not appropriate funds or change existing flower-growing rights.
