Senator José Javier Rodríguez’s SB 78 on Sea Level Rise Mitigation Passes Unanimously Through First Committee

Posted on March 12, 2019

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)
