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. Under this bill, a county
may not enact an ordinance zoning shorelands in a town that is located entirely on
an island and authorized to exercise village powers and may not enforce an existing
ordinance zoning shorelands in such a town.
