SCCF launches legislative tracker as committees convene
The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation reported that Sept. 20 marked the start of six interim committee weeks that will occur prior to the start of the regular 2022 Florida legislative session.
State lawmakers met on Sept. 20-24 and will meet on Oct. 11-15, Oct. 18-22, Nov. 1-5, Nov. 15-19 and Nov. 29 to Dec. 3 to begin to shape legislative priorities for the regular session that begins on Jan. 11.
Pre-session meetings will include presentations on agency budgets and early debate on bills that have already been filed. The SCCF is focused on nine key priorities affecting Everglades restoration, environmental conservation, harmful algal blooms, water quality, and home rule.
The SCCF Legislative Tracker has been updated for the 2022 session and will include links to bills and meetings related to the SCCF’s priorities.
