Florida Legislators pass more restrictions on local regulations

Florida Legislators pass more restrictions on local regulations Supporters of the measures say they are needed to stop the encroachment of local regulations, smooth out the uneven application of rules and increase business options.     Florida Sen. Travis Hutson speaks during a legislative session, Thursday, April 29, 2021, at the Capitol in Tallahassee, Fla. The natural gas industry was behind SB 1128 that will prevent local governments from banning natural gas as an energy source in new construction and restricts the ability of local governments to decrease the use of natural gas obtained by fracking, which releases methane that is rapidly worsening the climate crisis. Hutson, R-St. Augustine, said the bill was needed as a precaution. [ WILFREDO LEE | AP ]

Florida Lawmakers Pre-empt Localities on Clean Energy Regulation

Florida Lawmakers Pre-empt Localities on Clean Energy Regulation The Legislature has approved bills to regulate utilities and set clean energy guidelines at the state level. Local governments, along with environmental groups, are strongly opposed. April 30, 2021 •  (TNS) Despite warnings from opponents that the state is asking for more than it can handle, Florida legislators sent bills to the governor this week that preempted local government regulation of utilities and clean energy regulation. Each of the efforts was opposed by local governments and environmental organizations, especially those in major urban areas which have been more aggressive than the Florida Legislature in advancing policies with sustainable energy practices. They say that local communities are better suited to make those decisions.
