Overview
- The Senate approved the bill 25–11 after an earlier 81–30 House vote to rename Palm Beach International as "President Donald J. Trump International Airport."
- The measure shifts naming authority for major Florida airports to the state, though only Palm Beach’s name would change under this bill.
- Implementation depends on FAA clearance and a commercial-use agreement with the name’s trademark holder following Trump-linked filings for the airport name.
- The Trump Organization said the president and his family would take no royalties or fees for the branding, while Democrats warned the trademarks could enable merchandising.
- Estimated costs reach up to $5.5 million versus a $2.75 million Senate budget line, and Democrats citing strong local opposition saw bids for a referendum, a delay, profit bans and preserving the PBI code voted down.
