Conference committee approves HP 1137 to revise restoration of beach lands definition
Summary
The Joint House and Senate Conference Committee approved HP 1137 (HD 1, SD 2) on April 23, 2025, adopting the Senate version with a clean effective‑date draft; members recorded ‘‘aye’’ votes. The transcript does not clearly record the final effective date.
The Joint House and Senate Conference Committee on April 23, 2025, approved HP 1137 (HD 1, SD 2), a measure that would change the definition of restoration of beach lands.
House managers presented the House membership and managers; the Senate managers indicated they had adopted the Senate version and made a clean‑date draft. Senators and Representatives present voted ‘‘aye’’ during the roll call and the chair announced the committee had a bill.
Senate conferees noted the draft included an effective date statement during discussion; however, the effective date was not clearly recorded in the transcript (the recorder captured an unclear reference rendered as “July ’85”). The transcript does not provide further detail about implementation steps, funding, or regulatory changes tied to the revised definition.
Committee members exchanged brief procedural remarks, then recorded approval on the record and thanked the conferees. No additional finance releases or implementation schedules were discussed in the recording.
