Vicki Thomas, Appellants v. Clean Energy Coastal Corridor

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the circuit court’s validation of Clean Energy’s revenue bonds, holding that the financing agreement’s provision for judicial foreclosure of non‑ad valorem assessments is not authorized by Florida law and must be removed. The Court also affirmed that Broward County residents lack standing after their voluntary dismissal and that the bond issuance complies with statutory requirements, including the special‑assessment two‑prong test. The decision remands for amendment of the financing agreement to excise the foreclosure language.
