35(1)     To conduct a systematic and continuing study of the
36    statutes and laws of this state for the purpose of reducing
37    their number and bulk;, removing inconsistencies, redundancies,
38    and unnecessary repetitions and otherwise improving their
39    clarity and facilitating their correct and proper
40    interpretation; and ensuring that military compatibility is
41    examined as provided in s. 163.3175; and for the same purpose,
42    to prepare and submit to the Legislature reviser's bills and
43    bills for the amendment, consolidation, revision, repeal, or

51Section 2.        Section 163.3175, Florida Statutes, is amended
52    to read:
53163.3175        Legislative findings on compatibility of
54    development with military installations and ranges; exchange of
55    information between local governments and military installations
56    and ranges.—
57(1)     The Legislature finds that incompatible development on
58    of land and in state-controlled waters or on state submerged
59    lands close to military installations and ranges can adversely
60    affect the ability of such an installation or range to carry out
61    its mission. The Legislature further finds that such development
62    also threatens the public safety because of the possibility of
63    accidents occurring within the areas surrounding a military
64    installation or range. In addition, the economic vitality of a
65    community is affected when military operations and missions must
66    relocate because of incompatible urban encroachment. Therefore,
67    the Legislature finds that effective coordination among it
68    desirable for the local governments, state departments, the
69    state land planning agency, and military installations and
70    ranges is desirable in the state to cooperate with military
71    installations to encourage compatible land use and activities in
72    state-controlled waters or on state submerged lands to, help
73    prevent incompatible encroachment, and facilitate the continued
74    presence of major military installations and ranges in this
75    state.

  HB 1141  2026
76(2)     Certain major military installations and ranges, due
77     to their mission and activities, have a greater potential for
78     experiencing compatibility and coordination issues than others.

80     compatibility of land development with military installations

182    provide advisory comments to the affected local government on
183    the impact such proposed changes may have on the mission of the
184    military installation or range. Such advisory comments shall be

186    comments and may include:
187(a)     If the installation has an airfield or range, whether
188    such proposed changes will be incompatible with the safety and
189    noise standards contained in the Air Installation Compatible Use
190    Zone (AICUZ) or the Range Air Installation Compatible Use Zone
191    (RAICUZ) adopted by the military installation for that airfield
192    or range.;

194    Installation Environmental Noise Management Program (IENMP) of
195    the United States Army.;
196(c)     Whether such changes are incompatible with the
197    findings of a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), a Compatible Use Plan

209    The commanding officer's comments, underlying studies, and

213(6)     The affected local government shall take into
214    consideration any comments and accompanying data and analyses
215    provided by the commanding officer or his or her designee
216    pursuant to subsection (4) as they relate to the strategic
217    mission of the base, public safety, and the economic vitality
218    associated with the base's operations, while also respecting
219    private property rights and not being unduly restrictive on
220    those rights. The affected local government shall forward a copy
221    of any comments regarding comprehensive plan amendments to the
222    state land planning agency.

229    file a statement of financial interest pursuant to s. 112.3145
230    solely due to his or her service on the county's or affected
231    local government's land planning or zoning board.
232(8)     The commanding officer is encouraged to provide
233    information about any community planning assistance grants that
234    may be available to a county or affected local government
235    through programs such as those of the federal Office of Local
236    Defense Community Cooperation Economic Adjustment as an
237    incentive for communities to participate in a joint planning
238    process that would facilitate the compatibility and resilience
239    of community planning and the activities and mission of the
240    military installation or range.
241(9)     Any state department or local government that
242    administratively approves development projects must coordinate
243    with the state land planning agency before granting such

245    of influence, including a military-adopted Air Installation
