Bill Summary · SB 1118

Legislative bill overview

SB 1118 was a Florida bill addressing land use and development regulations, sponsored by Stan McClain. The bill did not advance to passage, as it was indefinitely postponed in May 2025 and ultimately died in the Regulated Industries Committee in June 2025.

Why is this important

Land use and development regulations directly affect housing affordability, urban sprawl, property rights, and local government authority. Companion bills CS/CS/CS/SB 784 and CS/SB 1080 were successfully enacted, suggesting that the underlying policy objectives regarding development regulations were pursued through alternative legislative vehicles.

Potential points of contention

  • Local control vs. state preemption: Land use bills often pit municipal zoning authority against state-level mandates for development
  • Housing supply and affordability: Development regulation changes can either increase housing availability or protect neighborhood character, depending on framing
  • Environmental and infrastructure concerns: Streamlined development processes may conflict with conservation and adequacy-of-services requirements
