The bill amends section 366.032 of the Florida Statutes to prohibit various local government entities, including boards, agencies, commissions, and authorities of counties and municipalities, from enacting or enforcing any restrictions on fuel sources and appliances used for energy production and delivery to consumers. Specifically, it clarifies that these entities cannot restrict or prohibit the types of fuel sources or appliances that can be used, except when enforcing the Florida Building Code or the Florida Fire Prevention Code. The bill also expands the retroactive applicability of these prohibitions to include actions taken by local government entities prior to July 1, 2021, rendering such actions void.
Key insertions in the bill include the addition of "board, agency, commission, or authority of any county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision" in multiple subsections, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the preemption. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
