The State Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources this afternoon unanimously passed SB 78. This legislation, sponsored by Senator José Javier Rodríguez’s (D-Miami), would put in place sea level rise guidelines for public infrastructure projects funded by state dollars.
“I want to thank the committee members for moving this bill forward — passing bills like this sends an economic signal at an important time and I’m confident that our legislature is ready to lead — Climate change and sea level rise are not just about the environment, but also the economy.” said José Javier Rodríguez (D-Miami)
