What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
