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 current law, if

an existing town ordinance relating to shorelands is more restrictive than a county

shoreland zoning ordinance enacted later and affecting the same shorelands, it

continues as a town ordinance in all respects to the extent of the greater restrictions.

Under this bill, if a town ordinance enacted by a town that is located entirely

on an island in Lake Superior and authorized to exercise village powers is more

restrictive than a county shoreland zoning ordinance, regardless of the order of

enactment, the town ordinance applies in all respects to the extent of the greater

restrictions.
