Florida governments face net-zero policy limits
For actions proposed on or after July 1, 2026, Florida governments cannot adopt, enforce, or require net-zero policies, including through contracts. Net-zero policies aim to balance greenhouse gas emissions with removals. Governments also cannot run emissions-cap programs or join groups with those policies. The ban covers programs and groups that require or encourage emissions trading by governments or people in Florida. Specified utility-board powers, Public Service Commission powers, and general-law energy and pollution programs remain, but do not override the net-zero ban.
Florida bars government net-zero charges
For actions proposed on or after July 1, 2026, Florida governments cannot impose charges to advance net-zero policies. The ban covers taxes, fees, penalties, offsets, and assessments. It includes charges tied to fuel carbon content, greenhouse gas emissions, or emissions trading. Existing local taxing powers remain, but governments cannot use them to advance net-zero policies. The law names no existing charge being repealed and sets no household savings amount.
Florida limits public net-zero spending
For actions proposed on or after July 1, 2026, Florida governments cannot use public money to advance net-zero policies. This bars purchasing preferences tied to net-zero goals or based solely on fuel types or sources. Governments cannot pay dues, subscriptions, or contributions to private groups that adopt net-zero policies, require members' support, or promote them. Each government entity must file an annual compliance affidavit with the Department of Revenue. An authorized official must sign it under penalty of perjury.
