Governor
Crist has signed into law the Florida Forever successor bill
(Senate bill 542). The legislation extends the Florida Forever
program through 2020 at $300 million a year. The new law went
into effect on July 1. Click here to view a summary of the bill.
Our sincere appreciation to all of you who helped advocate for
Florida Forever. Your support made all of the difference!
A historic milestone, the signing of the Florida Forever bill
should not allow us to think 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.
It is very important that all of us keep reminding our legislators
and other decision-makers of the many benefits of Florida Forever
in their communities. There will be 30 or more brand new legislators
in Tallahassee next Legislative Session -- it's never too early
to start reaching out to them!
