Committee reports a batch of bills favorably, including claims and conservation measures

The Florida Senate Community Affairs Committee considered a multi-item agenda and reported a suite of bills favorably during Wednesday's hearing. Several items drew only brief sponsor explanation and either no public testimony or only limited comment. The committee recorded favorable reports on the following items (committee notation 'reported favorably' follows each entry):

- CS for SB 848 (stormwater treatment; sponsor: Senator Truenow) — reported favorably (topic intro SEG 029; finish SEG 090).
