Bill Summary · SB 500

Legislative bill overview

SB 500 (Spectrum Alert) was a Florida bill sponsored by Bryan Ávila and Kristen Arrington that addressed spectrum-related matters. The bill was substituted by HB 711 on April 29, 2025, and laid on the table after its companion bill (HB 711, now Chapter 2025-123) passed into law.

Why is this important

Since the companion bill HB 711 became law, the substantive policy it contained is now in effect in Florida. The specific impacts depend on HB 711's provisions, which would address the spectrum management or alert system that was the original intent of SB 500.
