What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a county must enact a shoreland zoning ordinance for all shorelands in its unincorporated area. Current law defines a shoreland to be an area within a certain distance from the edge of a navigable water.
Current law provides, with certain exceptions, that, if a city or village annexes a county shoreland area after a specified date and that area, before annexation, was subject to a county shoreland ordinance, then the county shoreland ordinance continues to be in effect and must be enforced by the annexing city or village. This bill eliminates this requirement that the annexing city or village continue to keep the ordinance in effect and enforce the ordinance.

Current law also provides that, if a shoreland area that is part of a town is incorporated as a city or village after a specified date, then a county shoreland zoning ordinance that covered that shoreland area before incorporation remains in effect.
This bill eliminates the requirement that county shoreland zoning ordinances remain in force after a shoreland area is incorporated as a city or village.
