Florida appeals federal judge's ruling on wetlands permitting authority transfer.
Florida seeks to speed up a federal judge's final ruling in the high-stakes case for wetlands permitting authority, which could lead to an appeal. Judge Randolph Moss ruled that federal officials did not follow necessary steps in 2020 when transferring authority from US Army Corps of Engineers to Florida, affecting over 1,000 projects in regulatory limbo. The case has also halted a separate lawsuit filed by the Miccosukee Tribe.
