Summary:
The committee heard and approved several bills on water quality, public safety, utilities, and transparency. CS/SB 848 on stormwater treatment and water quality enhancement areas was presented as a follow-up to prior water quality legislation and was reported favorably with no opposition. SB 28, a claim bill for Reginald Jackson against the City of Lakeland, was also reported favorably. CS/CS/SB 658, a bipartisan child drowning prevention bill for rental properties, drew extensive testimony from child advocacy, drowning prevention, and autism advocates who described Florida’s high child drowning rates and supported requiring at least one pool or water-safety feature at short- and long-term rentals; the committee adopted two amendments, including one requiring license applicants to certify compliance, and the bill was reported favorably.
The committee also approved CS/SB 1724 on municipal utility services, which addresses outside-city utility service agreements, revenue use, rate limits, and customer meetings; an amendment added gas utilities back into the bill. CS/SB 934 on Florida Keys areas of critical state concern was amended to remove a section viewed as conflicting with the Live Local Act and then reported favorably. SB 1622, creating a one-time waiver for certain late-filed financial disclosure fines, was supported by speakers and reported favorably. CS/CS/SB 260 on electric vehicle storage at towing facilities was amended to focus on storage only and to limit the extra fee period until inspection clears fire risk; the bill drew mixed testimony from insurers, towing-related interests, and fire officials, but was reported favorably.
Later, SB 1264 on private schools was presented as easing zoning and occupancy barriers for small schools and microschools, with supporters saying it would help meet demand for school choice; members raised concerns about local implementation, but the bill was reported favorably. CS/CS/SB 1014 on municipal utility service to properties outside city limits was amended to apply only to residential properties and to clarify capacity and annexation-related exceptions; it was supported by local-government and environmental testimony and reported favorably. CS/SB 1102, expanding the local government infrastructure surtax to include body camera costs, was amended so any use would require a new referendum and was reported favorably. Finally, SB 1566 on local government spending and transparency required online posting of budgets and related information, drew testimony from counties, cities, and transparency advocates about costs and uniform templates, and was reported favorably after amendment, with several senators noting concerns for smaller local governments while supporting the transparency goal.

Committee:
Senate Ethics and Elections
Summary:
The Ethics and Elections Committee met with a quorum present and Senator Polsky excused. The committee first considered Senate Bill 964, sponsored by Senator Wright on behalf of Senator Linda Stewart, which revises reporting requirements for certain gifts and honoraria. The bill implements Commission on Ethics recommendations to clarify that reporting individuals must file Form 10 paper forms with the Commission, rather than attaching them to electronic financial disclosures. Carrie Stillman, executive director of the Ethics Commission, testified in support, explaining that the change will align the statute with current filing practice and allow the Commission to update its rules and forms.
After brief discussion and no opposition, SB 964 was approved unanimously and reported favorably. The committee then took up Tabs 2 through 15, a group of confirmation appointments that had been provided in advance and were not requested for separate consideration. On motion and second, the committee approved all of the nominees together by unanimous roll call vote and reported them favorably to the Senate.
With no further business, the committee adjourned after a final motion to rise was adopted unanimously.
