As you reconcile SB2508 during Conference Committees, please take action on the following:

- Remove all language referencing the requirement of expanded pre-funding certification for projects and operational schedules, such as the Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM).  (Specifically, remove proposed language amending Florida Statutes Sections 373.026, 373.036 and 373.1501(7))

- Remove all language that locks in specific provisions about how the SFWMD manages water shortages.  (Specifically, remove proposed language amending Florida Statutes Section 373.1501 (10) and (11))

- Remove all language allowing public entities, like utilities, to pay for Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) staff to expedite the review of their permit applications.  (Specifically, remove proposed language amending Florida Statutes Section 373.4141)

- In SB2500 -  the proposed budget - remove section 1647, which allocates funding for Everglades Restoration contingent upon SB2508, or similar legislation, becoming law.
