Bill Summary · HB 1523

Legislative bill overview

HB 1523 was a Florida bill introduced by Representatives Demi Busatta and Webster Barnaby that addressed utility services regulations. The bill did not pass in its original form, as it died in the Rules Committee in June 2025, though a companion measure (CS/HB 1137) was enacted into law.

Why is this important

Utility service legislation affects rates, consumer protections, and service standards that impact all residential and commercial customers in Florida. The passage of the companion bill instead suggests the legislature found an alternative approach to address the underlying policy concerns regarding utility regulation or services.
