Bills of Treasure Coast interest died in Florida Legislature this session

As the annual legislative session begins to wrap up, hundreds of bills will not become law this year.

Here are some of the bills of Treasure Coast interest that died during the last days of session:

Indian River Lagoon

A bill that would have provided $50 million for projects to restore the Indian River Lagoon has not received any committee hearings.

The money would have gone toward septic conversions, stormwater projects and purchasing surrounding land to protect it.

High-speed rail

For the second year in a row, legislation that would regulate "high-speed" rail systems statewide, including Brightline, will not become law. Both bills were backed by Treasure Coast lawmakers.

A Senate bill passed one committee, but failed to make it to the floor.

A House bill (HB 525) would have required rail companies such as All Aboard Florida, and not local governments, to install and pay for safety features and upgrade crossings. It was never heard by committees.

Beach erosion

A bill that would transform how the state manages beach erosion projects gained quite a bit of support in the Senate, but its House version did not receive any committee hearings. The bill's sponsor in the House, state Rep, Kathleen Peters, R-Treasure Island, blamed the bill's lack of movement because of personal issues between her and House Speaker Richard Corcoran.

The bill would have would have given local governments more power to regulate businesses using compost or treated human waste inside the St. Lucie Watershed boundary. It was not heard in House or Senate committees.

Highwaymen license plate

The bill, which had gained the support of several members of the House, would have created a license plate to honor the Florida Highwaymen. All proceeds would eventually benefited a museum and cultural center in northwest Fort Pierce.

While it passed a two House committees and one Senate committee, the bill is now stalled in committees.

Plastic bags

The bill would have allowed coastal towns and cities with a population of fewer than 100,000 to create and implement pilot programs to test banning or regulating disposable plastic bags. The bill would not allow local governments to place a tax or fees on the disposable plastic bags.

It did not receive any committee hearings.
