The bill amends section 332.0075 of the Florida Statutes to define the term "major commercial service airport" as an airport providing commercial service that is classified as a medium or large hub by the Federal Aviation Administration. It preempts the naming of major commercial service airports to the state and specifies the official names for several key airports in Florida, including Orlando International Airport, Miami International Airport, and others. The bill also establishes that if any of these airports no longer meet the criteria for being classified as a major commercial service airport, their names will still remain valid.
Additionally, the Department of Transportation is required to conduct an annual review of the airport names and notify the Legislature if any changes in status occur. This notification must be provided 60 days before the next regular legislative session and include the name of the airport along with the reasons for the change. Furthermore, any government records created after July 1, 2026, must use the specified airport names. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
