AN ACT CONCERNING COASTLINE RESILIENCY TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

HB 5264 (2025) provides state funding to support natural coastal infrastructure like dunes and wetlands, while requiring communities to develop planning strategies to reduce flooding risks. It directly affects coastal property owners and communities in vulnerable areas facing climate-driven sea-level rise and storm damage. Key provisions include allocating resources for sustainable projects that absorb floodwaters and mandating local planning efforts to protect homes and businesses. The bill aims to reduce climate-related damage to coastal properties through nature-based solutions and coordinated community action.
