Wetlands and Waterways Permits - Lighthouse Piers - Permission of Owner of Private Wetlands
Hearing (House)
Summary
The measure says a person building a pier that sits inside private wetlands, is attached to a lighthouse, and does not reach the shore cannot be forced to get the wetland owner's permission. The builder must still obtain all required approvals from the state environmental board and department before construction. The change is intended to simplify certain pier projects while keeping regulatory oversight.
