Florida Democratic Rep. Darren Soto and Republican Rep. Gus Bilirakis introduced HR 900 in February, designed to track and map sinkholes across the U.S.
Unless you are literally insane, you should be terrified of sinkholes.

This is an important step toward ensuring public safety and strengthening our resilience against these natural threats.”
