Relates to the definition of tidal wetlands

Summary

The bill amends the environmental conservation law to broaden the definition of tidal wetlands, adding any area that borders or lies beneath tidal waters of the marine and coastal district—such as banks, bogs, salt marshes, swamps, meadows, flats, and other low lands, even if they were previously connected to tidal waters. The change applies statewide to any land meeting this description and takes effect immediately.
