Key Takeaways:
Florida lawmakers have passed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The proposed name change requires approval from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the FAA, and if enacted, would take effect in July with an estimated cost of up to $5.5 million.
The Trump Organization has filed a trademark for the use of the president's name on airport infrastructure and merchandise, stating it's for protection and will not involve charging fees to airports.
