Key Takeaways:
Florida state lawmakers passed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The name change requires approval from Governor Ron DeSantis and the FAA, and is expected to take effect in July if signed into law.
The rebranding is projected to cost up to $5.5 million.
The Trump Organization filed a trademark for the use of the president's name on airport infrastructure and merchandise, stating it aims to protect the brand without charging fees.
