SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Regulation of outdoor lighting near public waterways. Allows localities east of the fall line to regulate by ordinance outdoor lighting near public waterways so as to minimize glare and water surface reflections that may interfere with the ability of boat operators to maintain visual contact with illuminated navigation aids. The ordinance may require property owners near public waterways to shield their outdoor lighting on piers, wharves, port facilities, outdoor structures, bridges, and other property features. Property zoned or used for industrial or agricultural purposes are excluded from such ordinances.
