The proposed bill establishes the Local Government Regulatory Accountability Act, which aims to ensure fair, consistent, and transparent enforcement of regulations by local governments, municipalities, and special districts in Florida. It prohibits these entities from initiating or threatening enforcement actions deemed arbitrary or unreasonable by a court. The bill defines "enforcement action" broadly, encompassing various regulatory decisions and actions. It also mandates that individuals or businesses subject to such actions can request a review, which must be conducted within 30 days, and outlines the procedures for legal recourse if the review is not completed in a timely manner.

Additionally, the bill provides legal remedies for individuals or businesses who find themselves subjected to arbitrary enforcement actions, including the ability to file a lawsuit within 180 days. Courts are empowered to award attorney fees, actual damages up to $50,000, and injunctive relief if an enforcement action is found to be unreasonable. The legislation also includes whistle-blower protections for those who report such actions in good faith and establishes that any conflicting local ordinances or regulations are void. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
