New bill would block Florida cities from regulating Donald Trump’s presidential library

Local governments would be blocked from regulating construction and operation of presidential libraries for President-elect Donald Trump and other presidents who might plan such facilities in Florida, under a bill filed Thursday for the 2025 legislative session.

Sen. Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, filed the measure (SB 118), which would prevent local governments from enacting ordinances and other regulations about presidential libraries.

The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is a website administered by the National Archives and Records Administration since Trump left office in 2021.

Plans for a permanent location have not been announced as Trump, now a Palm Beach resident, gets ready to return to the White House in January.
