This bill amends Chapter 2025-190 of the Laws of Florida to define the term "impacted local government" as counties affected by Hurricanes Debby, Helene, or Milton, which were designated for both individual and public assistance under the Stafford Act. The bill prohibits these impacted local governments from proposing or adopting any moratoriums on construction or redevelopment of properties damaged by these hurricanes, as well as from enacting more restrictive amendments to their comprehensive plans or land development regulations until October 1, 2027. Any such actions taken will be considered null and void from the outset. The amendments are retroactively applicable from August 1, 2024.

Additionally, the bill allows residents or business owners within impacted local governments to file civil actions for declaratory and injunctive relief against violations of this section, with the possibility of obtaining a preliminary injunction. However, if the local government withdraws the proposed or enacted measures within 14 days of receiving written notice of the violation, attorney fees and costs will not be awarded. The section is set to expire on June 30, 2028, and the act will take effect on July 1, 2026.
