FPL's anti-solar bill is scheduled to be heard on the Senate Floor today; I'll do my best to provide updates when it is up.

Her livelihood depends on solar installation. “I’ve been in the industry for 12 years. I can just say, from my bird’s-eye view, that we made history,” @SolarRaina

FPL's anti-solar bill is up in 2 spots today, on House Floor, currently in session, & its final Senate Committee Stop, Rules, at 1:30. Will be doing my best to provide updates throughout the day on this bill - which has been wildly opposed by Floridians but still pushed through. The bill, HB 741, is not yet up, but several amendments were filed. You can see that three from Rep @AnnaForFlorida have been withdrawn, apparently because they were ruled out of order: flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2…

FPLs anti solar bill SB 1024 is up in Community Affairs. Room is at capacity. Crowds outside opposed to the bill because it completely dismantles the current rooftop solar policy. Bradley explaining her amendment, states it provided a step down to reducing solar credits. No questions. Solar industry speaker opposed.

House Tourism, Infrastructure & Energy Subcommittee has been going on for nearly 1 hour, 30. FPL's anti-solar bill, the one that the room is filled with people waiting to speak on, many who have traveled a long distance, was shuffled to the end of the agenda. The mtg ends at 11. McClure is just now presenting his anti-solar bill. As a reminder, a nearly identical version was written and hand-delivered by Florida Power & Light to Senate Sponsor Bradley. It passed its first senate stop on Day One of session.
