The proposed bill aims to prohibit state or local governmental entities in Florida from applying for or approving permits for specific solid waste facilities located within two miles of designated environmental areas, including the Everglades Protection Area and various water management projects. The bill explicitly identifies the types of facilities affected, which include solid waste facilities, municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities, pyrolysis facilities, and any solid waste disposal facilities that involve incineration, as well as solid waste management facilities.

The new legal language inserted into the bill clarifies that these prohibitions apply to permits under several chapters of the Florida Statutes, specifically chapters 373, 376, 377, 379, 380, and 403. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, if enacted.
