A new Florida law that restricts local governments from regulating development faces over two dozen lawsuits. Sen. Nick DiCeglie has pledged to amend the legislation.
The Pinellas County Republican used lessons learned from a devastating 2024 hurricane season to draft Senate Bill 180, which dictates how local governments must prepare for and respond to natural disasters. However, what became law July 1 also restricts city and county officials from adopting “more restrictive or burdensome” land-use and zoning regulations until October 2027.
