Bill Summary

An act relating to state preemption of the regulation of hoisting equipment; amending s. 489.113, F.S.; deleting provisions preempting to the state the regulation of certain hoisting equipment; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates existing state-level preemption of local regulations concerning hoisting equipment used in construction, demolition, and excavation work. Currently, Florida law prohibits counties, municipalities, and other local governments from creating their own regulations about power-operated cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators, and conveyors, except for elevator regulations under Chapter 399 and airspace height restrictions. By removing the previous language that preempted such regulations to the state, the bill would allow local governments to create their own rules and requirements regarding hoisting equipment, as long as these do not conflict with federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2025, giving local jurisdictions more autonomy in regulating construction-related equipment and safety practices within their boundaries.
