This bill amends section 163.3180 of the Florida Statutes, specifically addressing transportation concurrency for small counties. It revises the requirements for the capital improvements element of a comprehensive plan by adding a provision that allows small counties to maintain current levels of service, in addition to meeting adopted levels of service standards. The new language specifies that the capital improvements element must identify facilities necessary to achieve these standards during a five-year period or to maintain current levels of service for small counties as defined in another statute.
The bill aims to ensure that small counties can effectively manage transportation concurrency by providing flexibility in how they plan for public facilities. The changes are intended to support the unique needs of smaller jurisdictions while still adhering to the overall framework of concurrency in transportation planning. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
