Vertiports in Florida are Cleared for Takeoff
On April 21, 2026, Governor Ron DeSantis signed CS/CS/CS/HB 1093 into law. Dubbed the “Vertiports Act,” HB 1093 adds vertiports to “airport infrastructure” under Section 332.007 of the Florida Statutes and authorizes the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) to fund projects for public vertiports. HB 1093 also enables vertiports and charging systems as qualifying projects for funding under public-private partnerships between state and private entities under Section 255.065 of the Florida Statutes.
