The Senate unanimously passed a bill affecting an assortment of different environmental regulations.
LobbyTools reports that HB 589, sponsored by Rep. Cary Pigman, in part makes it easier to obtain a water well contractor license; changes regulations around phosphate mines; allows more activities to contribute to the state’s water credit trading program; provides more oversight for stormwater management construction; and allows funds in the state’s solid waste landfill closure account to pay for a wider range of activities.
The bill is now on its way to Gov. Rick Scott.
