flag Florida lawmakers pass bill banning local net-zero climate policies, pending governor’s approval.

flag The Florida House and Senate have passed a bill banning local governments from adopting net-zero emissions policies, including climate targets, fees, or mandates for renewable energy. flag It would block cities and counties from pursuing goals like cutting emissions 50% by 2030 or achieving net-zero by 2050, and prohibit partnerships with climate-focused organizations. flag While energy efficiency programs like solar incentives remain allowed, the law bans requirements favoring specific energy sources. flag The bill, now pending Governor Ron DeSantis’s signature, aims to prevent what supporters call overreach, but critics warn it could delay climate projects and undermine local authority. flag If signed, it would take effect July 1.
