| This bill provides that any person intending to build or |
| extend any wharf, fish weir or trap in tidewaters in a |
| municipality must provide proof to the municipal officers that |
| all parties that may be directly affected by the proposed |
| construction have been notified of the application. It permits |
| the municipal officers to name a designee to examine the premises |
| upon which construction is proposed and hear all interested |
| parties. It also permits the municipal officers to give written |
| notice by regular mail of their decision to all interested |
| parties. Current law requires this notice to be given by |
| registered mail. |
