Last summer, thousands of Floridians rallied together to oppose a ridiculous proposal to build hotels, golf courses, and pickleball courts in State Parks across Florida. In response to that outcry, legislators have filed Senate Bill 80/ House Bill 209 - the "State Park Preservation Act" - to prevent similar threats in the future. This bill still needs approval from the Governor's office to become law.

Tell the Governor to sign SB 80/ HB 209

House Bill 209/ Senate Bill 80 - "State Park Preservation Act" - has made it through both legislative chambers, but it still needs approval from the Governor to become law. 

Contact Governor DeSantis and urge him to sign the State Park Preservation Act into law.

Email Tips +

  • Don't forget to include the name and number for the bill.
  • Clearly state what you are urging them to do (Example: "Sign this bill because...")
  • Keep it short. There is no need to write a whole essay. A few sentences will do. 
  • Make it personal. Elected officials tend to ignore emails that are copied and pasted from 100s of people. Add a personal touch like a story or how this bill would impact your community.
