SB 1576 - Springs Protection Act -

Action Alert -  “Florida Springs and Aquifer Act”

In previous newsletters, CPR has reported on Senate Bill 1576, “An act related to springs.”  (For details, please re-read CPR’s newsletter dated March 18.)

CPR’s analysis of SB 1576 was presented to the Senate Committee on Environmental Protection and Conservation.  Our position covered two points:  (1) there is no scientific basis for further regulating septic systems, and (2) creating a “Responsible Management Entity” (RME) tasked with “managing” septic systems simply adds an unnecessary, redundant and expensive layer of government.

On March 31, at 4 p.m., the Senate Agricultural Committee will be the next to hear SB 1576.

Before that committee meets, you need to understand what an RME is and it seriously threatens private property rights.  Once you understand what it is, you will want to contact the legislators that sit on the Agricultural Committee and express your opinion.
