Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 38 MRSA §436-A, sub-§12,  as amended by PL 2013, c. 320, §6, is further amended to read:

12. Structure.   "Structure" Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, "structure" means anything built, constructed or erected for the support, shelter or enclosure of persons, animals, goods or property of any kind and anything constructed or erected on or in the ground, exclusive of fences and poles and wiring and other aerial equipment normally associated with service drops, including guy wires and guy anchors. "Structure" includes a structure temporarily or permanently located. As used in this subsection, "service drop" has the same meaning as in section 952. "Structure" does not include a subsurface waste water disposal system as defined in Title 30-A, section 4201, subsection 5.

SUMMARY

This bill excludes subsurface waste water disposal systems from the definition of "structure" in the laws governing shoreland zoning.
