Coastal Regulatory Reform.

Summary

The bill updates the Coastal Area Management Act application rule so that certified‑mail notice to adjacent riparian landowners counts as sufficient notice and will not delay permit processing. It also revises upland basin marina requirements by defining a baseline area for dissolved‑oxygen testing, allowing compliance through site‑specific modeling, and mandating bond or trust funding equal to five years of operation and maintenance costs. Additionally, the measure broadens the Coastal Storm Damage Mitigation Fund to cover beach nourishment, artificial dunes, and certain terminal‑groin projects, and appropriates $800,000 for FY 2026‑27.
