Kill bill SB 382

We need to do all we can to kill SB 382 in its next committee stop, Senate Health Regulation, this coming Monday afternoon at 2:30 pm. 

SB 382 puts all of our work in the past 3 years to bring wise fertilizer management practices to Florida communities at risk.

This bill would put an end to the strong nutrient pollution prevention standards (seasonal application bans, deep buffer zones, fertilizer content and application limits) found in residential fertilizer ordinances across the state.

Please ask your friends and allies to make calls to the Health Regulation Committee members.  This is our message:

“Vote NO on SB 382!  Taxpayers across Florida agree that nutrient pollution prevention will save communities and consumers money.  The serious health threats from blue-green algae and red tide mean that communities must retain the right to protect their residents, especially children and older residents, by regulating the use of residential fertilizers.”
