Why it Matters

Senate Bill No. 1628 (SB 1628), introduced by Florida state Senator Bryan Avila (R-Hialeah Gardens), and House Bill No. 1217 (HB 1217), introduced by Florida state Representative John Snyder (R-Palm City), would protect against climate-change mandates in Florida, by prohibiting state and local governmental entities from adopting or requiring “net-zero” policies.

This legislation would define “net-zero policy” as any requirement or goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions, including the Paris Agreement and related initiatives such as from the World Bank or World Economic Forum. Key prohibitions include:

“prohibiting governmental entities from adopting or requiring the adoption of net-zero policies; prohibiting governmental entities from expending government funds to support, implement, or advance net-zero policies; prohibiting governmental entities from imposing taxes, fees, penalties, charges, offsets, or assessments to advance net-zero policies; prohibiting governmental entities from implementing, administering, or enforcing a program that functions as a cap-and-trade program;”

The bills prohibit state and local governments from implementing net-zero policies, also known as “cap-and-trade” programs, and declare that such schemes “are detrimental to the state’s energy security and economic interests,” as they cause economic harm, energy unreliability, and infringe on individual freedoms.

By enacting SB 1628 and HB 1217, Florida would stop climate change agendas that infringe on economic liberty and property rights. These policies are part of a larger globalist push to impose central planning, wealth redistribution through energy controls, and restrictions on individual liberty. Such mandates override local control and set precedents for further intrusive regulations.

By rejecting net-zero requirements, Florida would protect the free market, uphold fundamental principles of limited government, and stop globalist central-planning schemes.
