Bill > SB145

This bill prohibits the issuance of certain permits for bulkhead construction in a specific area of St. Tammany Parish from March 17, 2025, to January 1, 2030. The bill specifically prevents the state from issuing Class B Permits and coastal use permits for constructing bulkheads within a precisely defined geographic area with specific latitude and longitude coordinates. The restricted area includes water bodies locally known as Lake Emfred and Suter Slip. A Class B Permit is typically a type of construction or land use permit, and a coastal use permit is a authorization required for activities that might impact coastal environments. The bill effectively places a temporary moratorium on bulkhead construction in this particular location, with the restriction lasting approximately five years. The legislation will become effective upon the governor's signature or through the standard constitutional process for bill enactment in Louisiana.
