Florida cities and counties would be barred from enacting transportation or school impact fees until mid-2015 under a measure pre-filed by Rep. Mike Weinstein of Jacksonville.
House Bill 603 would prevent the levying of concurrency fees for roads and schools for development permitted before July 1, 2015 and completed before July 1 2016.
Weinstein said the measure would help the construction sector and spur development during tough economic times without completely taking control away from city and county officials.
The bill allows local officials to override the moratorium by a two-thirds majority vote of the local governing body.
