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, reconstruction, or redevelopment of properties damaged by the specified 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 prior to this date will be considered null and void.

Additionally, the bill allows residents or business owners within impacted local governments to bring civil actions against these governments for violations of the new regulations, with the possibility of obtaining a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of any moratoriums or amendments. However, if the local government withdraws the proposed or enacted measures within 14 days of 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.
