An Act relative to the Salisbury Beach Preservation Trust Fund

This bill amends the Salisbury Beach Preservation Trust Fund to expand its purpose and funding. It updates the definition to include the entire Salisbury Beach dune and beach system (covering public and private property) and increases the access fee from $3 to $4 per visitor. The fund will now specifically support acquiring sand for beach restoration, installing dune plants and fencing, and funding coastal resilience projects through matching grants. Additionally, the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) must submit annual reports on fund use and update the management plan biennially to include disaster recovery planning.
