Bill > S0562

This bill modifies Florida's growth management laws to streamline the review process for certain new developments. Specifically, it requires that proposed developments that qualify as a "development of regional impact" (DRI), which are large-scale projects that could affect surrounding areas, must now go through the state's coordinated review process, rather than the previous, more specific DRI review process. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that any new proposed development that would normally be subject to the DRI review process will instead be approved by the local government under the state's coordinated review process, effectively shifting the primary review authority for these new projects. This change aims to simplify and standardize the approval process for significant new developments.
