MODERATE
The bill was amended to clarify that it permits specific existing structures to remain in erosion hazard areas or tidal wetlands, rather than broadly prohibiting local laws. The scope was narrowed to apply only to residential properties in a specific section of Richmond County that meet strict criteria regarding permit dates and owner knowledge of violations.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was narrowed from a general provision allowing local laws to a specific exemption for eligible residential properties in Richmond County.
SCOPE
The act title changed from amending laws to permit structures to remain, clarifying the bill's intent to allow existing buildings to stay rather than regulate future construction.
ELIGIBILITY
A new definition of 'eligible properties' was added, restricting the bill's application to residential homes southeast of Hylan Blvd in Richmond County.
REQUIREMENT
New requirements were added mandating that permits must have been issued before December 31, 2022, and property owners must certify they had no prior knowledge of environmental violations.
TIMELINE
The specific date for permit issuance was updated to December 31, 2022, replacing the previous reference to the 2026 law amendment.
