BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

School Concurrency (Watch) 

CS/SB 706 (Perry) and CS/HB 851 (McClain) require developers to tender, rather than execute, a written, legally binding commitment to provide proportionate-share mitigation. The bills further require the local government to issue a final decision on the developer’s tendered commitment within 60 days from the date of receipt. If the local government fails to issue a final decision within 60 days, the tendered commitment will be deemed approved. Lastly, the bills require a school board to set aside and not spend any proportionate-share mitigation if there is no school capacity improvement identified in the five-year school board educational facilities plan until such time as such an improvement has been identified.
