COASTAL RES/COASTAL ZONE: Imposes additional requirements for certain coastal use permits on Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF RV See Note)

Summary

The measure changes the coastal‑use permitting process by requiring an independent reviewer to certify, with science‑based evidence, that a proposed activity meets specific criteria before a permit is issued. The Department of Natural Resources must pay for the review and post the reviewer’s findings, while certain projects and regulated utilities are exempt. It also removes a prior requirement for public hearings on these permits.
