The proposed bill establishes the "Local Government Regulatory Accountability Act" for both counties and municipalities in Florida, aiming to ensure fair, consistent, and transparent enforcement of local regulations. It defines key terms such as "county" and "enforcement action," and prohibits local governments from initiating enforcement actions deemed arbitrary or unreasonable by a court. The bill mandates that individuals or businesses subject to such actions can request a review, which must be conducted by the local government within 30 days. If the local government fails to respond, the affected party may file a legal action within 180 days to challenge the enforcement action.

Additionally, the bill provides legal remedies for those who prevail in court, including the awarding of attorney fees, actual damages up to $50,000, and injunctive relief against the local government. It also includes whistle-blower protections for individuals disclosing information about arbitrary enforcement actions. The legislation preempts any local ordinances that conflict with its provisions, ensuring uniformity in regulatory enforcement across the state. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
