HB 1056 Coastal resilience policy; consultation from research university collaborative.

Introduced by: M. Keith Hodges | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources; coastal resilience policy; research university collaborative. Requires the Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources and all relevant agencies, when setting coastal resilience policies, issuing permits, and evaluating grant proposals to seek input and consultation from the Commonwealth's research university collaborative. Current law permits the Secretary to seek input and consultation from such collaborative when setting coastal resilience policies. The bill removes the Virginia Coastal Policy Center from such collaborative and provides that such collaborative may include any other institution in the Commonwealth conducting coastal resilience research. The bill also requires the Secretary to utilize such collaborative's expertise, research, and data analysis for the implementation of water management techniques and coastal resilience strategies. Under current law, such requirements by the Secretary are permissive.
