Staff Analysis of the Legislation
This legislation changes the measurement of state-required stream buffers around state waters.  Instead of measuring the 25-foot and 50-foot buffer on waters from the point "where vegetation is wrested by normal stream flow or wave action", the buffers will be measured outward from the "ordinary high water mark".
