Enacted: 2026-03-23 Effective: 2026-07-01
SB 290 (2026 "Florida Farm Bill"), signed by Gov. DeSantis March 23, 2026, creates Fla. Stat. §§ 125.489 and 166.0415, preempting county and municipal regulation of engines based on fuel source. No grandfather clause. Takes effect July 1, 2026, at which point eight pre-existing Florida municipal ordinances (Naples, Key Biscayne, Town of Palm Beach, Miami Beach, Pinecrest, South Miami, Surfside, Winter Park — already repealed by referendum) become unenforceable for their fuel-source provisions. Equal-application noise rules survive.
