Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Government must use official airport names

Government records made on or after July 1, 2026 must use these names. The names are branding only and do not create a new legal entity. Airports do not have to amend old contracts or sign new ones just to match the name. Using the names does not break certain state trademark or publicity laws for the airport owner. An owner complies by seeking needed approvals. After approvals, it starts planning, procurement, and signage within a reasonable time. Timing accounts for budgeted funds and required procurement steps.

State sets names for major airports

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state controls names for major commercial airports. Major airports are those FAA calls medium or large hubs. The law sets official names for Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood, Tampa, Southwest Florida, and Jacksonville international airports. Palm Beach International is renamed "President Donald J. Trump International Airport" if the FAA approves. Palm Beach County must also get a perpetual, no‑cost agreement to use the name for signs and marketing. Names stay valid even if an airport later loses hub status. Each year, the transportation department reviews the list and gives lawmakers 60 days’ notice of any needed changes.
