The bill amends section 489.113 of the Florida Statutes to remove the state's preemption over local regulations concerning hoisting equipment. Specifically, it deletes provisions that previously prohibited local acts, laws, ordinances, or regulations related to hoisting equipment, such as cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators, and conveyors used in construction, demolition, or excavation work. This change allows local governments to establish their own regulations regarding these types of equipment, provided they are not already covered by federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

The effective date for this bill is set for July 1, 2025. By allowing local jurisdictions to regulate hoisting equipment, the bill aims to enhance local control and potentially improve safety measures tailored to specific community needs.
