BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

Growth Management (Oppose – Unfunded Mandate)

CS/SB 410 (Perry) and CS/HB 203 (McClain) would require local governments to adopt by July 1, 2023, a new mandatory element in their comprehensive plans that addresses the protection of private property rights. CS/SB 410 was amended to require the Department of Economic Opportunity to give funding preference for technical assistance to certain counties and municipalities. CS/HB 203 now provides that a municipality may not annex an area within another municipal jurisdiction without consent from the other municipality. The amended bill also provides that a Development Regional Impact may be amended by the development order process, allowing a change in land use if the change does not increase impact to public facilities.  (Cruz)
