Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates the Municipal Shoreline Protection Legal Fund to help cities and towns pay for legal costs when they go after serious violations of shoreland zoning rules. Municipalities that receive money from the fund must pay it back within six months after their legal case is settled or decided. The bill also provides $100,000 in one-time funding to start the fund.
