House Bill 7077

ICYMI: Trumbull Applauds Final Passage of Triumph Gulf Coast Bill

Posted on May 2, 2017

House Bill 7077, which ensures the Panhandle receives 75 percent of
the BP settlement money, now heads to Governor Scott for his signature.

State Representative Jay Trumbull today released the statement below following passage of the Triumph Gulf Coast legislation, House Bill 7077:
“I am very pleased the Senate moved in the right direction and the good people of the Panhandle will finally get what they deserve for the damage done by the devastating Deepwater Horizon spill seven years ago. This bill ensures the lion’s share of the BP settlement money will go directly to the eight counties most impacted by the disaster, and it includes important provisions to make sure the funds are distributed equitably and transparently.
“It has been an honor to work with my colleagues across the Panhandle as Chair of the Select Committee on Triumph Gulf Coast, and I appreciate their hard work on this issue. I look forward to Governor Scott signing this important bill into law, and I look forward to continuing to work with the stakeholders in our community to put these dollars to work for the hardworking men and women of the entire Panhandle.”
