Florida Senate Approves Bill Blocking Local Net-Zero Emissions Policies
The Florida Senate has passed a bill that prohibits local governments from implementing net-zero emissions policies. The amended tax measure, which also includes language to prevent cities and counties from requiring net-zero steps through rules, codes, or spending tax dollars on them, was approved by a vote of twenty-four to twelve. If signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, the law will take effect on July first. Supporters argue that it ensures local decisions consider all factors, while opponents claim it could limit green initiatives and ignore real climate risks. The bill is part of a pattern in Florida, where the state has avoided strong climate policies for years, and is likely to be signed by Governor DeSantis.
