If you are a constituent of Senate Innovation, Industry and Technology Committee Chair, Wilton Simpson, ask him to place the following bills on the agenda for the next Committee meeting. Otherwise, ask your Senator to urge the Chair to place these bills on the next committee agenda.
SB314        Advanced Well Stimulation Treatment    Prohibits fracking and matrix acidizing. Fracking damages the environment and threatens water supplies with adverse consequences for public health, quality of life and the tourism industry.
SB222        Private Property Rights         Exempting from the definition of “public utility” property owners who own and operate a renewable energy source device, produce renewable energy from that device, and provide or sell the renewable energy to users on that property. Encourages conversion to solar power.
SB1156      Community Solar Program      Community solar allows individuals, businesses, schools, colleges, local governments, churches and other non-profits to share the benefits of a single solar array and receive proportional credits on electric utility bills for power produced. Renewable sources of energy will reduce pollution and dependence on fossil fuels.
