“On agreeing to the Bean (FL) amendment (A001) Agreed to by voice vote.”
This amendment secures the rights of Florida, Michigan, and New Jersey to manage their own water permits for construction and dredging projects. It also clarifies the rules for other states that want to take over these responsibilities from the federal government in the future.
This shift in power can lead to faster permit approvals for local construction and development projects by keeping the decision-making at the state level rather than with the federal government.
Developers and construction companies in Florida, Michigan, and New Jersey are most directly affected, as are state environmental regulators in any state interested in managing their own water permits.
