Subcommittee Chair Josie
TomkowJane West Policy & Planning Director 1000 Friends of Florida
Urge Gov. DeSantis to
VETO HB 337, HB 421/HB 1101, HB 487
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AT
www.1000fof.org/legis/veto-damaging-bills
• HB 337 on impact fees
• HB 421/HB 1101 on property rights
• HB 487 on small-scale amendments
If signed into law, these bills will have considerable negative
impact on the quality of life for all Floridians and will:
• Result in significant additional costs to taxpayers to further subsidize
new development
• Reduce the ability for local governments to adopt planning measures
to address sea level rise, natural resource and water quality protection
• Further reduce state review of development proposalsHB 337
IMPACT FEES – REQUEST VETO!
What are impact fees?
Impact fees are user fees that shift a portion of the
burden of the costs of new or expanded infrastructure to
accommodate new development away from the
community at large to the new development itself. They
are one-time fees paid by new developments to help pay
for the infrastructure necessitated by the new
development. Without impact fees, taxes need to be
raised or public services and facilities need to be
curtailed. Or both.HB 337 IMPACT FEES – REQUEST VETO! This bill restricts the amount that local government can increase impact fees charged to developers for the cost of roads, sewer lines and other infrastructure necessitated by that new development. Up to 25% above current rate – 2 equal annual increments. 25%-50% - 4 equal annual installments. No impact fee may be increased more than once every 4 years. Impact fees shall not be collected before issuance of building permit. Retroactive application to January 1, 2021. Exceptions apply but the criteria is rigorous.

HB 1101/HB 421
RELIEF FROM BURDENS ON REAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS - REQUEST VETO!
Expands the scope of the Bert Harris, Jr. Private Property
Rights Act. Revises what constitutes “action of a
governmental entity” so instead of being an “as applied”
liability statute, the trigger now includes the adoption of
enforcement of any ordinance, resolution, regulation,
rule, or policy.
Reduces timeframes
Presumes that settlement offers are presumed to be in
the public interest.
Extends the point from which a prevailing property owner
may recover attorney fees and costs.HB 487
GROWTH MANAGEMENT - REQUEST VETO!
Formerly “Small Scale Development Amendments”
The bill increases the maximum acreage of a small-scale
comprehensive plan amendment from 10 acres to 50
acres and increases the acreage in a rural area of
opportunity from 20 acres to 100 acres.
Expedited review - Small-scale plan amendments may be
approved with a single hearing with no review by DEO.HB 487 - REQUEST VETO! GROWTH MANAGEMENT (continued) Any landowner with a Development Order existing before the incorporation of a municipality may elect to abandon the Development Order and develop the vested density and intensity allowable under the new municipality.
SB 496/HB 59
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
This bill requires every local government to adopt a property
rights element in their comprehensive plans. The bill provides
a list of rights that must be considered in local decision-making.
The right of a property owner to physically possess and control
his or her interests in the property, including easements,
leases, or mineral rights.
The right of a property owner to use, maintain, develop, and
improve his or her property for personal use or the use of any
other person, subject to state law and local ordinances
The right of a property owner to privacy and to exclude other

prohibited from restricting maritime commerce in a
seaport in or adjoining an area of critical state concern
with respect to any passenger cruise ship.SB 856/HB 839
STATE PREEMPTION OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
REGULATIONS
This express preemption bill prohibits local governments from
taking any steps that would prohibit the siting, development, or
development of fuel retailers and the related transportation
infrastructure and from requiring fuel retailers to install or
invest in related fueling infrastructure.
“Related transportation infrastructure” includes underground
storage tanks, pipelines, or any related equipment that is
necessary to dispense fuel.
Local governments can’t require the installation or investment

SB 88/HB 1601 Significantly expands Florida’s Right to Farm Act by providing
immunity to farms. The bill prohibits liability for nuisance suits
Farming and other similar lawsuits (undefined), raises the bar on the
Operations burden of proof (clear and convincing), limits damages to the fair
market value of the claimant’s real property and bars actions
outside a ½ miles radius from the source of activity.SB 88/HB 1601
FARMING OPERATIONS (continued)
Nuisance is defined as any interference with reasonable
use and enjoyment of land, including, but not limited to,
noise, smoke, odors, dust, fumes, particle emissions, or
vibration. It doesn’t matter if the plaintiff designates the
claim as some other tort.
Governor DeSantis signed it into law on April 29, 2021SB 896
RENEWABLE ENERGY
SB 1008, Solar Electrical Generating Facilities was
amended into SB 896
Provides that solar farms are a permitted use in
agricultural land use categories. Photo credit: FPLSB 628/HB 1013
URBAN AGRICULTURE
The legislature acknowledged the “coming to the nuisance” defense is
reversed when residents bring agricultural uses to already established dense,
urban areas.
The bill creates an “Urban Agriculture Pilot Project Act” authorizing FDACS to
approve of municipal urban agriculture projects in an attempt to provide
fresh foods in city centers and encourage adaptive reuse of vacant lands.
Criteria: Population of 250,000 or more; submit narrative, projects will be
approved for 3 year periods and renewed for additional 3 year periods.Other bills that we tracked this session…
SB 402/HB 35 LEGAL NOTICES This bill changes how the public will be made aware of legal notices. Government agencies will now have the option to publish legal notices for land use changes and other public meetings online in lieu of a newspaper publication.
SB 1951/HB 7019 STATEWIDE FLOODING

This bill establishes the Resilient Florida Grant
Program within DEP to fund the cost of
community resilience planning. DEP will be
required to develop a Statewide Flooding and SLR

the Statewide Office of
Resiliency within the Executive

create a Statewide Sea-Level

become law.

This bill would have
required DEP to issue
permits for sea walls to
