MODERATE
The bill was amended to clarify that it permits existing structures to remain in specific erosion hazard areas rather than prohibiting new construction. The scope was narrowed to a precise geographic area in Richmond County, and eligibility now requires permits issued before December 31, 2022, along with proof that the owner exercised due diligence when purchasing the property.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was narrowed from a general provision regarding local ordinances to a specific exemption for residential properties located southeast of Hylan Blvd in Richmond County.
SCOPE
The bill title and operative text changed from prohibiting local ordinances to explicitly permitting structures to remain in specific hazard areas.
DEFINITION
A new definition of 'eligible properties' was added to specify the exact geographic boundaries and property types covered by the bill.
REQUIREMENT
New requirements were introduced mandating that permits must have been issued by December 31, 2022, and owners must submit documentation proving they exercised due diligence when purchasing the property.
The previous specific list of individual property blocks and lots in Richmond County was removed and replaced with the broader geographic definition.
