Relative to the exclusive granting of tidelands licenses by the Department of Environmental Protection. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Public Trust Restoration Act of 2011, amends Chapter 91 of the Massachusetts General Laws to clarify that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has the sole and exclusive authority to review and grant applications for Chapter 91 tidelands licenses, which are permits related to the use of submerged lands and shorelines that are held in trust for the public. This means that no other government agency can take over or share this licensing power without specific approval from the legislature.
