Florida House Passes Bill to Rename Palm Beach International Airport After President Trump (VIDEO)
The Florida House of Representatives has voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport to “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The bill, HB 919, passed with a strong 81-30 vote on Tuesday.
Sponsored by Rep. Meg Weinberger, the legislation would honor President Donald Trump, a longtime resident of Palm Beach County and owner of the iconic Mar-a-Lago estate.
“This is the President’s hometown, he lives five miles away from the airport,” Weinberger said of the bill.

The rename is contingent on approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and an agreement with Trump for the commercial use of his name, at no cost to the county.
Weinberger has said that the Trump family has agreed “to completely waive the trademark for the Trump name to Palm Beach International.”
The Trump Organization has already filed trademarks for “President Donald J. Trump International Airport” and related terms, according to a report from USA Today.
A companion bill, SB 706, sponsored by Sen. Debbie Mayfield, has already cleared the Senate Rules Committee and is headed to the full Senate floor.
Palm Beach County officials estimate the name change could cost around $5.5 million for new signs, uniforms, branding, and tech updates.
If the Senate approves and Gov. Ron DeSantis signs it into law, the change could take effect as early as July 1.
