HB 40 Original 2020 Regular Session Mack
Abstract: Requires that agreements between an acquiring agency and a landowner for integrated
coastal protection projects ensure public recreational boating and recreational fishing access
to waterways in the acquired land.
Present law authorizes "acquiring authorities" to enter into agreements with respect to the ownership
of minerals and surface rights for purposes of integrated coastal restoration projects.
Proposed law requires that the agreement contain a provision that ensures the public has access to
the waterways in the acquired land for navigation, boating, and recreational fishing.
