Bill Summary
Relative to emergency action on FEMA Flood Insurance rate maps. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill allows the board of selectmen or select board in a town with a town meeting form of government to adopt or amend any zoning bylaw to maintain compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and incorporate updated flood hazard areas from the Flood Insurance Rate Maps prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This can be done during the governor's state of emergency declaration related to COVID-19 and for 30 days after the termination of the state of emergency, following a public hearing by the planning board. Any zoning bylaw or amendment adopted under this bill would take effect immediately upon approval by the board of selectmen, and the time for review by the state attorney general would be 30 days instead of the usual 90 days.
