Advocacy & Legislation: Why It Matters

State and national leaders often underestimate the vital role geologists play in managing natural resources, understanding environmental risks, and preparing for disasters. Yet, as legislation continues to shape how we interact with our environment, the need for licensed Professional Geologists (PGs) has never been more critical.

From groundwater protection and mineral exploration to sinkhole analysis and climate resilience, PGs are at the forefront of sustainability and survival. With emerging challenges, like resource shortages and natural hazards, our work is essential to informed policymaking and public safety.

Legislative Update – July 2025

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Lobby Team and the engagement of geologists across the state, we successfully defeated two major threats during the 2025 legislative session: HB 991 and the amended SB 110, both of which sought to eliminate the Florida Board of Professional Geologists.

These bills did not pass because of your support and our coordinated advocacy.

However, similar proposals may return in the 2026 session. The threat to our profession is ongoing, and we must remain vigilant, organized, and ready to act.

FAPG Committees Are Growing

We are proud to announce the successful launch of three new committees, each chaired by dedicated volunteer professional geologists:

  • Fundraising Committee – focused on building the resources needed to support our mission.

  • Legislative Committee – advancing policy strategy, bill tracking, and advocacy coordination.

  • Grassroots Committee – mobilizing members and allies to take local and statewide action.

These committees are already helping expand our reach, sharpen our strategy, and strengthen our voice at the Capitol.

Support the Work Ahead

As we prepare for the 2026 session, we are actively fundraising to support our advocacy efforts, outreach campaigns, and legislative presence in Tallahassee. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

Your support helps us:

  • Retain professional lobbying representation

  • Engage lawmakers and regulatory leaders

  • Educate the public and media

  • Protect licensure and public safety standards

FAPG is self-funded by geologists across Florida. Your contributions power our mission.
