SB 180 Lawsuit Summa
• 25 plaintiffs — 23 municipalities and 2 counties (Orange and Manatee)
• SB 180 imposes new obligations on local government under the auspices of being related to emergencies,
even though such provisions far exceed, and do not apply only to emergencies and their aftermath
• Imposes new obligations on and limits the independent action of local governments
• Overview: Freezes all local land development regulations and comprehensive plans in place on August 1,
2024, declaring that any more restrictive or burdensome amendments to such regulations by all counties
and municipalities between August 1, 2024 and October 1, 2027 are void ab initio.
• Specific counts:
1) SB 180 violates the Constitution's single subject provision, it purports to be an act related to
emergencies and matters properly connected therewith. For example, the more restrictive or
burdensome test applies to all land use regulations regardless of whether such regulations were
adopted due to emergencies
2) Violates title provision — Constitution requires that all bills must also briefly express that subject in the
title to give fair notice of its contents and the various provisions of the bill must be germane to the
subject expressed in the title. This particular title is 7 and % pages long.
3) Violates the reasonable classification provision. Creates a classification by creating the term "impacted
local governments" — some are counites and other are municipalities, doesn't consider the actual
impact a hurricane has on a specific municipality or county, the 100-mile hurricane zone is arbitrary.
4) Violates unfunded mandate provision, no finding in the bill that the law fulfills an important state
interest in order to impose unfunded mandates on local governments.
5) Conflicts with Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975 and strengthened in 1985. This
Chapter (13) is the sole and exclusive means for local regulation of land use and SB 180 directly conflicts
with the Act.
6) Violates Home Rule Powers as it is an impermissible express preemption because it impermissibly
preempts past regulations that local government had the authority to propose and adopt when
proposed and adopted. The preemptions are vague and ambiguous. The "more restrictive or
burdensome standard" is vague and undefined.
Expedited review: Review of SB 180 should be expedited because land development regulations that were
valid when enacted are null and void or are risk of being deemed null and void; local governments are
currently being forced to defend lawsuits and expend public funds relating to such regulations that were
legal when enacted solely because Section 28 provides that such regulations are null and void ab initio.
Prayer for relief:
1) Declaration that enactment of SB 180 violates portion of the Florida Constitution and all Statutes
codifying Home Rule Powers
2) The purported preemptions in SB 180 is invalid as impermissibly vague
3) Enjoin the enforcement of SB 180.
