House Bill 1141 amends Florida statutes to improve coordination between local governments and military installations regarding land use and development. It revises the duties of the Office of Legislative Services to include ensuring military compatibility in land use planning and updates legislative findings on the impact of incompatible development on military operations and public safety. The bill requires local governments to share information about proposed land use changes with military installations and consider the potential impacts on military missions. Additionally, it establishes a new part titled "Military Community Resiliency," which outlines legislative intent, definitions, and requirements for prioritizing scoring adjustments related to military compatibility.

The bill also mandates the Division of Emergency Management to coordinate interagency efforts and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature. It introduces provisions for stakeholder coordination and authorizes rulemaking to support these initiatives, aiming to protect military operations while enhancing community resilience against natural hazards. Furthermore, it prioritizes projects identified through Military Installation Readiness Reviews (MIRRs) and requires state departments to prioritize MIRR-validated projects within their resilience grant programs. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing collaboration with stakeholders, including the Department of Defense and local governments, to ensure the successful implementation of resilience initiatives.
