DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Current law provides zoning regulations for approximately 90 percent of the
land surrounding lake Alan Henry, but excludes a small section in Kent
County. Expanding the zoning to include that portion of land will give the
Kent County commissioners the authority to enact zoning regulations
consistent with the other 90 percent of land surrounding Lake Alan Henry.
H.B. 2587 expands the zoning authority of the Kent County commissioners.
