Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 79(R)

House Bill 932

House Author:  Taylor

Effective: 5-17-05

Senate Sponsor:  Lucio


            Previous law allowed an owner of littoral property to build a pier without obtaining an easement from the School Land Board if certain restrictions were met. House Bill 932 amends the Natural Resources Code to authorize an owner of littoral property to build a pier and associated structure, such as a boat ramp or boat house, on adjacent coastal public land without obtaining an easement from the board, and it authorizes the board to adopt related rules that are consistent with the state's coastal public land management policies. The bill requires a description of the associated structure to be registered with the board.
