Public Financing of Potentially At-Risk Structures and Infrastructure (Monitor)

HB 111 (Hunschofsky) revises current law provisions that require certain public-financed projects and infrastructure undergo a Sea Level Impact Projection Study prior to construction. The bill expands the types of projects and infrastructure subject to the requirement by including "potentially at-risk" projects within an area that is "at-risk due to sea-level rise." The bill defines "at-risk due to sea-level rise" and "potentially at-risk structure or infrastructure." The bill also adds a requirement that a public-financed constructor provide a list of flood mitigation strategies evaluated as part of the design of the potentially at-risk structure or infrastructure and identify the flood mitigation strategies that have been implemented or are being considered as part of the structure or infrastructure design.
