ABC of Florida Statement Regarding CRC Proposal 23

Posted on December 11, 2017

Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida (ABC) Chief Lobbyist Carol Bowen released the following statement regarding CRC Proposal 23.
“As the voice of commercial construction in Florida, Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida is opposing a proposed constitutional amendment—CRC Proposal 23—that would harm Florida’s businesses and negatively impact Floridians.
“The broad and vague language of this proposal would open Florida’s construction industry up to countless frivolous lawsuits—regardless of compliance with existing laws or valid permits—and seriously harm development in our state. Challenges would be brought—potentially even by non-Floridians or business competitors—just to obstruct or delay legal activities, assuring prolonged uncertainty and creating judicial gridlock.
“Thoughtfully crafted and thoroughly debated environmental protections are already included in Florida’s constitution, and our state’s laws provide various ways to address concerns over air and water quality when needed. This proposal is simply unnecessary and would cause more problems than it would solve.”
