Florida Clean Water Amendment

At our last board meeting, SEVAS board members decided to support the Florida Right to Clean Water Amendment. We are encouraging our members who are legal voters in Florida to sign the petition and get their friends and neighbors to do so as well.

Ballot Summary: This amendment creates a fundamental right to clean and healthy waters. The amendment may be used to sue State executive agencies for harm or threatened harm to Florida’s waters, which include aquatic ecosystems. This amendment defines terms, identifies affected constitutional provisions in Article IV governing the executive branch, provides for civil action enforcement, allows attorney’s and expert witness fees to prevailing plaintiffs, and provides equitable remedies including restoration of waters.
