FLORIDA FOREVER BECOMES LAW

Governor Crist has signed into law Senate bill 542, which extends the Florida Forever program through 2020 at $300 million a year. The new law, which went into effect on July 1, 2008, will help protect the state's most important assets — its natural spaces and wildlife.

A historic milestone, the signing of the Florida Forever bill does not mean that the big job of protecting Florida's environment is over. The legislature must appropriate funds to launch Florida Forever bonds in the budget each and every year. The Florida Forever Coalition will continue to advocate that funds are spent on the highest conservation priorities and to make the case for Florida Forever every day.
