Relating to: the restrictiveness of shoreland zoning ordinances. (FE)

SB 1042 limits local government restrictions on routine maintenance and remodeling of structures near shorelands. It prohibits counties and the state department from requiring fees, approvals, or regulations for activities like repairs, replacements, or restorations - as long as the structure's footprint doesn't expand. The bill creates a new provision (59.692(1k)(ag)) allowing fees for these permitted activities, while repealing existing sections that previously restricted such work. This directly affects landowners with properties near shorelines and local governments enforcing shoreland zoning rules.
