Fla. Stat. § 403.802

Reasserting the policies of the Governmental Reorganization Act of 1969 and the Florida Environmental Reorganization Act of 1975 which recognize that structural reorganization should be a continuing process, and recognizing that many years have passed since the passage of those acts, it is the intent of the Legislature to promote more efficient, effective, and economical operation of certain environmental agencies by transferring decisionmaking authority to environmental district centers and delegating to the water management districts permitting functions related to water quality. Further, it is the intent of this act to promote proper administration of Florida’s landmark environmental laws.
