The proposed bill aims to prohibit state or local governmental entities from applying for or approving permits for specific solid waste facilities located within two miles of the Everglades Protection Area and related water management structures. The bill explicitly states that no permits will be granted for various types of solid waste facilities, including those defined as solid waste facilities, municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities, pyrolysis facilities, and solid waste disposal facilities that involve incineration.

The bill introduces new legal language that restricts the permitting process under several chapters of the Florida Statutes, specifically chapters 373, 376, 377, 379, 380, and 403. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
