More specifically, that law — SB 628 — renames several roadways throughout the state, which are as follows:

| Leon | President John Thrasher Memorial Boulevard | College Avenue | Copeland Street and South Monroe Street |
| Miami-Dade | Charles Dascal Way | SR-968 | S.W. 17th Ave. and S.W. 19th Ave. |

The law also designates the Tallahassee International Airport as the “Bobby Bowden-Tallahassee International Airport.”
However, SB 628 also introduces the newly dubbed “President Donald J. Trump Highway” in South Florida.
This highway encompasses the entirety of State Road 80 — approximately 124 miles — stretching from SR-A1A in Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach) to US-41 in Lee County (downtown Fort Myers).
It’s not the first law this year to rename a major traffic hub after the president, though.
Back in March, DeSantis also signed off on HB 919, which renames the Palm Beach International Airport as the “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
