SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Marine Resources Commission and local wetlands boards; permit applications; public notice. Requires notices to the public for certain permit hearings relating to fisheries and habitat of the tidal waters to be posted on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall website and reduces the frequency at which such hearing notices are required to be published in a newspaper of general circulation from once a week for two weeks to at least once in the seven days prior to such hearing. The bill allows the Marine Resources Commission or a local wetlands board to email notice of a certain public hearing to any applicant for such permit and any other parties interested in such application and also requires such notice to be posted on the Commission's website at least 14 days prior to such hearing. The bill also requires localities that have adopted a coastal primary sand dune or wetlands zoning ordinance to amend any such ordinance to conform with the provisions of the bill by January 1, 2024.
