SB 386 Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act; redefines localities that are under jurisdiction.

Introduced by: Stephen H. Martin | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Application of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act.  Redefines the localities that are under the jurisdiction of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA).  Currently, the CBPA applies to specifically named counties and cities that are defined as being located within Tidewater Virginia.  The bill changes the definition of which localities constitute Tidewater Virginia to include only those localities wholly east of Interstate 95.  Because the definition of Tidewater Virginia in the CBPA also appears in the stormwater law, to ensure that there is no change in the coverage of the stormwater program, the counties and cities currently listed in the CBPA's definition of Tidewater are delineated in the stormwater law.
