AI Summary

This bill, known as the Resiliency and Safe Structures Act, prohibits local governments from restricting the demolition of certain nonconforming or unsafe structures located seaward of the coastal construction control line, unless necessary for public safety. It also requires local governments to allow replacement structures to be developed to the maximum height and size authorized by local regulations for the same zoning district, without imposing additional requirements or public hearings. The bill applies retroactively and preempts any local laws that conflict with its provisions, preventing local governments from penalizing owners or developers for demolition or redevelopment under this act.
