House and Senate committees will meet in parts of December, January and February to start sifting through proposals in the lead-up to the 60-day session.
— A proposal (SB 56) seeking to prohibit the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or an apparatus into the atmosphere "for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight."
The measures filed in the past week by Sens. Ileana Garcia, R-Miami, Ana Maria Rodriguez, R-Doral, and Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers, aren't the first bills that were filed for the upcoming session that begins March 4.
The proposals, known as "claim" bills, are needed, at least in part, because of a state sovereign-immunity law that generally limits the amounts of money government agencies can be forced to pay in lawsuits to $200,000 or $300,000, depending on how many people are involved. Claim bills allow payments that are higher than the limits.
