Florida HB # 527 Dies
The Bill passed through 2 of the 3 Subcommittees. Water Quality Supply & Treatment is where the Bill died. Interestingly the Vice Chair of this Subcommittee is a Mr. Randy Maggard. This Bill was initially produced and supported by Mr. Maggard. Why would a Bill die in his own Subcommittee?
Members of State Congress can put a “hold” on a Bill. This hold will prevent publicity about votes. These details are recorded and can be accessed with proper clearance to the Congressional Record.
Truthfully, the reason the Bill died is unclear. If it were to pass buffer lines would complement and coordinate vs. cloak and dagger of which line, you pick in today’s regulatory agency uncertainty.
