1000 Friends Environmental Policy Priorities for 2020 Session
Boost funding for Florida Forever
• Florida losing 10 acres of open land an hour to development
• It’s not about us: three quarters of voters backed Amendment 1 in 2014 with expectation of restoring Florida Forever funding
• Money is there: After paying debt service, other commitments to Everglades, springs, etc., more than $400 million in Amendment 1 funds available next year
Crack down on all sources of pollution behind water quality crisis
• Agricultural and stormwater runoff, septic tanks, biosolids, wastewater plant spills
Bills We’ve Been Monitoring During Session …
• Legislation and budget items related to statewide planning, growth management, local government home rule and transportation, and statewide land and water conservation• List has grown during session
• We don’t take positions on every bill we monitor• Many bills don’t address our core interests
• Many are mix of good and bad elements
• Our positions may await further testimony and details revealed in committee hearings
• Our positions may change as bills change
Governor’s Environmental Policy Priorities for 2020 session*
* according to point man on environmental policy, DEP Secretary Noah Valenstein, in recent remarks to Florida Association of Counties
• Full funding for Everglades restoration, water quality request
• Limits on water pollution based on recommendations from Governor’s Blue-Green Algae Task Force
• Higher fines for environmental violations
DEP Secretary, Blue-Green Algae Task Force Chairman Noah
Valenstein
Where Governor’s Priorities Stand, Now That “We’re Halfway There”
• Legislature likely to exceed request for Everglades restoration, water quality funding
• Bills incorporating Governor’s water quality proposals advancing in Senate, House
• Higher fines for wastewater treatment spills incorporated in Governor’s water quality bill, and separate bills raising fines for all environmental violations also advancing
Jon Bon Jovi (not a department head)
Governor’s 2020-21 Budget Proposal•$91.4 billion spending plan, $400 million more than current budget, includes 2nd $625 million installment of $2.5 billion pledge for Everglades restoration, water quality
• $322 million for Everglades restoration projects• $150 million for water quality improvements• $50 million for springs restoration • $22 million to combat algal blooms and red tide
•$100 million for Florida Forever
•$54 million for state parks
•$9 million for coral reef protection
•$6 million for DEP Resilient Coastlines Program
•$387 million for affordable housing
Gov. Ron DeSantis
Senate 2020-21 Budget Proposal• $92.8 billion spending plan is $1.4 billion more than requested by Governor and proposed by House•Budget includes $644 million for Everglades restoration, water quality – more than the $625 million requested by Governor
• $322 million for Everglades restoration projects• $194 million for water quality improvements• $50 million for springs restoration • $22 million to combat algal blooms and red tide
•$125 million for Florida Forever, more than the $100 million sought by Governor•$27 million for state parks, half of Governor’s request•$10 million for coral reef protection•$10 million for DEP Resilient Coastlines Program
Senate Environmental Appropriations Chair Debbie
Mayfield
House 2020-21 Budget Proposal•$91.4 billion plan matches Governor’s bottom line, but also tops his request for Everglades, water quality with $652 million
• $318 million for Everglades restoration projects
• $122 million for water quality improvements
• $50 million for springs restoration
• $23 million to combat algal blooms and red tide
•$20 million for Florida Forever – even less than current year’s $33 million
•$37 million for state parks – not as much as Governor’s request, but more than Senate’s
•$10 million for coral reef protection
•$6 million for DEP Resilient Coastlines Program
Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Chair Holly
Raschein
SB 712: Water Quality Improvements • Vehicle for Governor’s water quality proposals related to
Blue-Green Algae Task Force recommendations
• Revives “Clean Waterways Act” title from 2019 bill, but softens prior bill’s crackdown on pollution sources
• Approved at two committee stops, with one to go
• Similar House legislation, HB 1343, approved at two of three committee stops
• Bill addresses pollution from septic tanks, wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater, agriculture, and biosolids
• Bill is over 90 pages, legislative analysis is 45
• Related House bill, HB 1343, is 120 pages
Senator Debbie Mayfield
SB 712 Details• Switches septic tank regulation from DOH to DEP
• Requires remediation plans in basins where septic tanks contribute at least 20 percent of nutrient pollution
• Creates wastewater grant program, requiring 50 percent local match, to finance septic to sewer, septic upgrades and sewage treatment plant upgrades• Requires remediation plans in basins where wastewater plants contribute at least 20
percent of nutrient pollution• Increases fines for spills
• Requires DEP, Water Management Districts to update stormwater rules by 2021
• Requires Department of Agriculture to collect, provide fertilization, nutrient records from each producer enrolled in best management practices• Requires DACS to perform onsite inspections of each agricultural producer that enrolls in
a best management practice every two years
• Requires DEP to adopt rules for biosolids management
• Creates real-time water quality monitoring program within DEP
SB 712 ShortcomingsAccording to analysis from Florida Springs Council, Florida Waterkeepers, Sierra Club:
• Bill doesn’t fix flaws with Basin Management Action Plans for polluted waterways that lack necessary programs and funding to reduce nutrient pollution within total maximum daily loads
• Required remediation plans for septic tanks, wastewater treatment facilities tied to targets that have not been set
• No remediation plan required for agriculture, the biggest polluter in many watersheds
• Agriculture relies on Best Management Practices not proven to be effective in meeting pollution reduction goals
• Bill falls short of other Blue-Green Algae Task Force recommendations, such as one calling for septic tank inspections
Why Would We Support SB 712?
• Because it has Governor’s backing, it’s water quality bill most likely to become law
• Opportunities remain to strengthen before passage• Better bill might not pass in current political environment• Bill’s failure could repeat 2019 experience – another year
lost to address water quality• Bill’s policies, programs could provide foundation for
additional, critical improvements in later years• Choice between some progress or none• We respect decision of allies who have chosen to oppose bill
– a tactical, not philosophical difference
SB 1450 & HB 1091Environmental Enforcement
•Addresses another environmental priority for Governor
• Increases required or maximum penalties for wide range of environmental offenses, including
• Sewage spills• Fuel spills• Illegal dumping• Illegal dredge and fill• Surface or drinking water contamination• Damage to a coral reef
•Most changes increase penalty by 50 percent
•Changes duration that penalties may run, so each day that violation occurs or is not remediated constitutes a separate offense, leading to possibly higher fines
•1000 Friends supports bills, though we’d like more funding for communities to upgrade wastewater infrastructure
•Wastewater problems complex; call for carrots, not just sticks
Representative Randy Fine
Senator Joe Gruters
Other 2020 Conservation Bills Show Where Legislature is Headed in Final Month …
SB 172 & HB 113 Florida Drug and Cosmetic Act
•Pre-empts local regulation of drugs and cosmetics, including sunscreen
•Would overrule Key West ordinance banning sunscreen with chemicals harmful to coral reefs
•Backed in Senate, House with united GOP support and some Democratic votes
•Raises same home rule issue as 2019 bill pre-empting local bans on plastic straws – passed but vetoed by Governor
•1000 Friends opposes as violation of home rule and local conservation initiatives
Representative Spencer Roach
Senator Rob Bradley
SB 182 & HB 6043 Preemption of Recyclable and Polystyrene Materials
•Deletes state preemptions of local laws regulating auxiliary containers, plastic bags and polystyrene
•Would open door for more local government control over single-use plastics and polystyrene
•Filed in response to 2019 appeals court ruling that struck down Coral Gables ordinance banning polystyrene from restaurants, supermarkets• Last week state Supreme Court refused to take up appeal
•1000 Friends supports bills as affirmation of home rule and local conservation initiatives•Both bills denied legislative hearing, reflecting low priority
for home rule among legislative leadersRepresentative Mike Grieco
Senator Linda Stewart
HB 1199 Environmental Protection Act• Florida authorizes citizens to assert standing to stop activity that affects
use, enjoyment of air, water, or natural resources
• Legislation, court rulings elsewhere in U.S. create possibility that specific legal rights of nature may exist, allowing a person to assert standing in legal challenge on behalf of natural resources
• Citizens have been pursuing this “Rights of Nature” strategy in several communities throughout Florida
• HB 1199 amends Florida Environmental Protection Act to bar a local government “from recognizing or granting any legal right to a plant, animal, body of water, or any other part of the natural environment”
• 1000 Friends opposes HB 1199 as pre-emption of local decision making on best approach to environmental protection
• Ideally, legislators would repair damage done to citizen standing in legislation, court cases
• Similar pre-emption in Senate part of much broader bill, SB 1382
Representative Blaise Ingoglia
SB 1042 & HB 1061 Aquatic Preserves•Creates Nature Coast Aquatic Preserve from coastal region of Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus counties•Area rich in sea grass would fill gap in Gulf preserves stretching from Big Bend to Tampa Bay• Initiative promoted by Pew Charitable Trusts, which touts $600 million economic benefit, 10,000 jobs and 500 businesses tied to tourism, commercial and sport fishing •Designation limits drilling, dredging or filling submerged lands and installing structures other than docks•Would add to list of 41 Florida aquatic preserves in areas with “exceptional biological, aesthetic, and scientific value” •Bills have advanced despite some pushback from local governments wary of regulation; similar bill died in 2014•1000 Friends supports bills
Representative Ralph Massullo
Senator Ben Albritton
SB 1608 & HB 791 Florida National Estuary Program Act
•Would require DEP to give funding consideration to estuaries identified under National Estuary Program• Includes Indian River Lagoon, Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay
•Wouldn’t call for state spending, but passage would encourage more federal funding for Florida in critical stage of consideration in Congress•Would require funds to be used for projects to improve water quality and fisheries, promote coastal resiliency and support local economies•Would require programs receiving funding to submit report to Governor, Legislature, DEP, water districts, increasing accountability and transparency•Bills buried in committees in both chambers before Senate bill withdrawn last week, ending hopes for the 2020 session
Representative Heather Fitzenhagen
Senator Debbie Mayfield
SB 638 & HB 1347 Apalachicola Environmental Stewardship Act
•Similar Senate, House bills would annually reserve dollars from Florida Forever Trust Fund through 2024-25 for Panhandle areas struck by Hurricane Michael
•Possible uses would include stormwater and sewage treatment facilities, septic tanks, water projects and land acquisition to protect water
•Senate bill allots $12 million a year; House bill $5 million• Senate bill passed sponsor’s committee; House bill has
advanced through two of three committees
•1000 Friends supports investment in Hurricane Michael recovery, but not using Florida Forever Trust Fund land acquisition dollars for water, sewer infrastructure
Representative Jason Shoaf
Senator Bill Montford
SB 640 & HB 153 Indian River Lagoon State Matching Grant Program
•Would make projects in Indian River Lagoon Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan eligible for state funding under new program
•Would direct DEP to coordinate with South Florida and St. Johns River Water Management Districts to identify projects and grant recipients
•50 % local match would be required
•Does not designate LATF as funding source
•Bills have passed one committee in each chamber
•1000 Friends supports these bills
Representative Randy Fine
Senator Gayle Harrell
SB 200 & HB 547 Advanced Well Stimulation Treatment
•Broadly bans drilling methods known as fracking• Include both “high-pressure well stimulation” and “matrix acidization” • Fracking prohibited even in cases where having a permit for drilling
and operating a well are authorized
•1000 Friends supports bills to safeguard Florida’s vulnerable water supply
•Similar bills stalled in 2019 amid opposition from industry and push from some legislators for narrower ban limited to high-pressure well stimulation
•Governor called in his 2019 executive order on environmental protection for ban on fracking but didn’t specify broad or narrow one
•Broad bans haven’t gotten traction in 2020 session
Representative Heather Fitzenhagen
Senator Bill Montford
Growth Management and Transportation LegislationJane West, Policy & Planning Director1000 Friends of Florida
SB 178/HB 579 Public Financing of Construction Projects
• This bill would prohibit state-financed constructors from commencing with construction of certain structures in coastal areas without first taking 3 steps:

1000 Friends supports
Senator Rodriguez
Senator Berman
SB 250 Development Orders
• This bill would repeal the Brandes amendment that was tacked onto HB 7103 during the end of the 2019 legislative session.
• HB 7103 amended F.S. 163.3215(8)(c) to include the following: “The prevailing party in a challenge to a development order under subsection (3) is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in challenging or defending the order, including reasonable appellate attorney fees and costs.”
• 1000 Friends supports
Senator Berman
SB 306/381 State Funds
• This bill would prevent the legislature from reallocating unappropriated money in the State Housing Trust Fund and the Local Government Housing Trust Fund to the general fund.
• Intent is to stop the sweeps of the Sadowski Fund.
• Senate budget keeps the Trust intact at $387 million while the House budgeted only $147 million for affordable housing and sweeps the remaining funds.
• 1000 Friends supportsSenator Mayfield
SB 410/HB 203 Growth Management
• This bill would require local governments to amend their comprehensive plans to add a statement of private property rights by July 1, 2023.
• Requires DEO, when selecting applicants for Community Planning Technical Assistance Grants, to give preference to counties with populations less than 200,000 for technical assistance grant funds if the counties are located near a M-CORE interchange and they need assistance amending their comprehensive plans
• 1000 Friends opposes
Senator Perry
SB 580/HB 349 Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act
The bill provides a right of first refusal allowing heirs property cotenants to purchase the property interests of a cotenant seeking partition before the property is divided or sold.
Tenants in common lack a right of survivorship, property passes to the heirs of the deceased, not cotenants. As the number of heirs increase with time, the risk of a fractionalized portion of the property being compromised by a judgment lien or back taxes increases.
This vulnerability makes heirs property acquisition attractive to developers.
1000 Friends supports
Senator Bracy
Senator Broxson
SB 748/HB 587 Florida Keys Property Rights Protection Act
• This bill formalizes the way the state and local governments in Monroe County handle taking claims by establishing the Florida Keys Property Rights Protection Act.
• As a result of ROGO, new development permits are capped at 197 per year and all available permits will be exhausted in 2023 when the Keys hits its carrying capacity.
• Additional property rights litigation is anticipated. This bill splits the expense between the state and the local government on a 50-50 basis.
• An amendment to increase evacuation time from 24 hours to 30 hours (thereby increasing the new development permits by 8,000) failed yesterday in the House Judiciary Committee.
Senator Flores
Representative Raschein
SB 998 Housing
• This bill includes multiple measures to expand the supply of affordable housing, including authorization to locate affordable housing in any parcel zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use.
Senator Hutson
SB 1390 Everglades Protection Area
• Requires comprehensive plan amendments adopted by a local government whose boundaries include any portion of the Everglades Protection Area to not impede Everglades protection and restoration efforts. Those protection objectives are identified in Fla. Stat. 373.4592
• Such plan amendments will not be subject to expedited state review.
• 1000 Friends supports
Senator Simmons
SB 7016 Statewide Office of Resiliency• Establishes within the Executive Office of the Governor a
Statewide Office of Resiliency, headed by the Chief Resilience Officer (currently Dr. Julia Nesheiwat) and creates a Sea Level Rise Task Force.
• The Task Force shall recommend consensus projections for anticipated sea level rise and flooding impacts along Florida’s coastline by January 1, 2021.
