Legislative History

(P.A. 84-247, S. 4; P.A. 95-218, S. 9, 24; P.A. 11-80, S. 1.) History: P.A. 95-218 amended Subsec. (b) to replace a reference to “subsection” with a reference to “section”; pursuant to P.A. 11-80, “Commissioner of Environmental Protection” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection” in Subsec. (b), effective July 1, 2011. When city has established a harbor management commission which has enacted a harbor management plan, the terms of that plan are binding on commissioner when he issues a permit to construct docks. 93 CA 314. Statute allows harbor management commissioner to make recommendations that are binding on the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection only when such recommendations arise from content already included within an approved harbor management plan. 215 CA 767.
