Coastal Regulatory Reform.

A new section was added to increase the maximum CAMA permit fee from $563.00 to $564.00.

Line numbers and section headers were updated to reflect the addition of the new fee section and the reorganization of the bill structure.

The text regarding dissolved oxygen requirements for upland basins was renumbered and minor wording adjustments were made to clarify the baseline area definition.

Updated CAMA notice rules to require proof of receipt for immediate permit processing; if proof is missing, the permit cannot be issued until a 60-day period expires.

Refined dissolved oxygen standards for upland basin marinas to allow compliance demonstration via site-specific modeling if pre-project levels exceed 5.0 mg/L.

Expanded the permissible uses of the Coastal Storm Damage Mitigation Fund and established new funding provisions.

Reorganized the bill's structure to move the Coastal Reserve and fund expansion sections to the top and reordered the remaining sections for clarity.

Updated dissolved oxygen rules to require site-specific sampling or engineering models, allowing permits without extra aeration if water quality standards are met.

Increased financial assurance requirements to mandate a bond or trust fund equal to five years of estimated maintenance costs for upland basin projects.

Changed the session year from 2026 to 2025 and added a short title for the bill.

The bill's short title and summary were rewritten to explicitly mention increasing maximum CAMA application processing fees and clarifying agency authority over the Coastal Reserve.
