Summary
This is a private member's bill introduced by NDP MLA Claudia Chender in the Nova Scotia Legislature on February 26, 2025. It proposes changes to the Coastal Protection Act, which was originally passed in 2019 to help protect Nova Scotia's coastlines from development and erosion risks. Unfortunately, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the provided document — only the bill's title, introduction date, and legislative progress information are available. Without the actual amendment text, it is not possible to describe exactly what changes are being proposed to the original 2019 Act. The Coastal Protection Act (2019) was designed to regulate construction and development near the coast to reduce flood and erosion risks, protect natural coastal features, and help communities adapt to climate change and rising sea levels. Any amendments to it would likely relate to those same themes.
