Capitol Update The Latest from Tallahassee: Help Us Get SB 180 Vetoed!

APA Florida sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis asking him to veto SB 180 when it gets to his desk.

The chapter supports the positive policies included in the bill for emergency management planning and storm recovery. However, two sections impede local government planning in all counties and municipalities for three years, regardless of whether they were impacted by Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Helene, or Hurricane Milton, since every county was included in at least one of the federal disaster declarations. For future hurricanes, the bill restricts local government regulations for one year after a hurricane makes landfall.
