This bill amends Chapter 2025-190 of the Laws of Florida to define the term "impacted local government" as counties affected by specific hurricanes (Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Helene, and Hurricane Milton) that were designated for both individual and public assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 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.

Additionally, the bill allows residents or business owners within these impacted local governments to bring civil actions for declaratory and injunctive relief against violations of this section, with the possibility of obtaining attorney fees if successful. However, if the local government withdraws the proposed or enacted measures within a specified timeframe after receiving notice of the violation, attorney fees and costs will not be awarded. The amendments made by this act are retroactively applicable to August 1, 2024, and the section will expire on June 30, 2028. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
