Fla. Stat. § 257.51

Preemption of regulation of presidential libraries

History.--s. 1, ch. 2025-170.

(1) The Legislature finds that presidential libraries are unique national institutions designated to house, preserve, and make accessible the records of former presidents. This section preempts to the state all regulation of the establishment, maintenance, activities, and operations of any presidential library within its jurisdiction and defers regulation of such institutions to the Federal Government.

(2) As used in this section, the term “presidential library” means an institution administered or designated under the Presidential Libraries Act, as amended, Pub. L. No. 99-323, established for the preservation and accessibility of presidential records and related historical materials.

(3) A county, a municipality, or another political subdivision of this state may not enact or enforce any ordinance, resolution, rule, or other measure governing the establishment, maintenance, or operation of a presidential library or impose any requirement or restriction thereon, except as otherwise authorized by federal law.
