FCCB staff indicated opposition to SB 1024 during the Community Affairs Committee on February 8. The bill was found favorable on a 6-3 vote.
In a letter to bill sponsor, Senator Jennifer Bradley, several points of concern were identified. Ken Kniepmann, associate for health, writes, "...we seek to protect our common home and ensure the preservation of our environment, which sustains life through its natural resources. As Florida allocates hundreds of millions of dollars to sea level resilience and Everglades restoration, it is contradictory for SB 1024 to unnecessarily hamper the growth of renewable technologies through changes in reimbursement rates and additional charges and fees."
