AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Protection Act to prohibit local governments from recognizing or granting legal rights to the natural environment, such as plants, animals, or bodies of water, or granting such rights to a person or political subdivision. However, it does not limit the ability of an adversely affected party to challenge the consistency of a development order with a comprehensive plan or file an action for injunctive relief to enforce the terms of a development agreement. Additionally, it does not limit the standing of the Department of Legal Affairs, a political subdivision or municipality, or a citizen to maintain an action for injunctive relief under the Environmental Protection Act.
