FL H0947

Creates section 163.3206 of Florida Statutes to maintain and ensure adequate fuel terminal infrastructure critical to the state's economy and public health, safety, and welfare.

Defines "fuel terminal" as a storage and distribution facility for fuel supplied by pipeline or marine vessel, equipped with loading racks for tanker trucks or rail cars, and registered with the Internal Revenue Service.

Prohibits local governments effective July 1, 2014, from amending comprehensive plans, land use maps, zoning districts, or development regulations in a manner that would make fuel terminals nonconforming uses or conflict with their classification as permitted uses.

Allows local governments to enforce applicable federal and state safety and building standards for fuel terminals, but local authority cannot conflict with federal or state safety and security requirements.

Requires local governments to allow timely repair of fuel terminals damaged or destroyed by natural disasters or catastrophes to their pre-disaster capacity.
