Bill > H0425

This bill amends existing law to revise the definition of "development" in the context of state disaster preparedness. Specifically, it clarifies that "development" includes the construction of buildings, structures, or accessory structures, as well as other activities like mining, dredging, and excavation. The bill also removes a provision that previously exempted the operation, cleaning, maintenance, or repair of irrigation or drainage works from the definition of "development." Additionally, the bill makes some technical corrections to the definitions of other key terms, such as "floodplain" and "floodway." The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
