MODERATE
The bill was updated from a House Resolution to a Committee Substitute version (CS/HR 661), which refined the language to more clearly encourage 'One Water' approaches for water resource management. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, with minor wording adjustments to improve clarity and emphasis on integrated water systems.
Scope change
The scope remains focused on Florida's water resource management, with no change in applicability or jurisdiction.
TECHNICAL

Title changed from 'expressing support' to 'encouraging One Water approaches' to better reflect the bill's intent.

Added new WHEREAS clause emphasizing Florida's agricultural production dependence on adequate water supplies.

Expanded the final resolution language to specifically mention managing all fresh and brackish surface and groundwater, stormwater, wastewater, and recycled water in a holistic manner.

Minor formatting and numbering adjustments throughout the document, including page number updates and header changes from 'HR 661' to 'CS/HR 661'.
