RELATING TO SHORELINE SETBACKS.

SB 723 increases the minimum distance required between new construction and shorelines. This change directly affects property owners and developers planning projects near coastal or waterway areas. The bill raises the current setback standard, requiring new buildings to be built farther from the water’s edge, though specific distance numbers are not provided in the abstract. As of now, the bill is pending in the 2026 legislative session after being carried over from 2025.
