This bill amends Florida Statutes to prohibit counties and municipalities from requiring applicants to take specific actions related to works of art as a condition for processing development permits or orders. Specifically, it states that neither a county nor a municipality can mandate an applicant to install a work of art, pay a fee for a work of art, or reimburse the local government for any associated costs. These provisions are added to sections 125.022 and 166.033 of the Florida Statutes, respectively.
Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "extraordinary circumstances" in section 163.31801, which outlines specific criteria for counties and municipalities to demonstrate when justifying increases in impact fees. It requires that a demonstrated-need study must include information about the specific projects that will benefit from exceeding established phase-in limitations for impact fees. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
