LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1325, as introduced, Flora. California Coastal Act of 1976: commercial fishing and recreational boating.

The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development within the coastal zone, as defined. The act requires facilities serving the commercial fishing and recreational boating industries to be protected and, where feasible, upgraded, and prohibits existing commercial fishing and recreational boating harbor space from being reduced unless the demand for those facilities no longer exists or adequate substitute space has been provided.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
