Bill Summary

This bill authorizes a municipality in which a lagoon community is located to have waterways servicing the lagoon community dredged, and the dredged material properly disposed of, for the purpose of maintaining transportation by boat into, out of, and throughout the lagoon community. The bill further authorizes the municipality to finance the dredging and disposal through the levy of a special assessment on any property owners that the municipality determines to benefit from the dredging, or by issuing bonds for the dredging as a capital improvement. "Lagoon community" is defined in the bill as any residential development in a coastal municipality where the waterways function as streets and provide access to, from and throughout the development via boat.
