COLUMBUS—State Senators Theresa Gavarone (R-Huron) and Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville) today gave sponsor testimony on Senate Bill 313, Ohio's Coastal Management Act.
The bill streamlines the Ohio Department of Natural Resource's (ODNR) permitting process for residential lake front property owners and reduces the regulatory burdens and associated costs with owning shoreline property.
Senate Bill 313 creates a universal permitting system for landowners, enabling a simpler process for structures on the lake, such as docks and seawalls. The bill would also eliminate annual lease fees for property owners.
"The legislation is important for many people I represent along the Lake Erie shoreline. Currently, the regulatory process is complex and burdensome," said Gavarone. "Senate Bill 313 creates a straightforward, easy-to-understand process for both ODNR and landowners."
