What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Town of North Topsail Beach Coastal Barrier Resources System Map Amendment Act of 2025," aims to change the boundaries of a specific area in North Carolina. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to update the map for Unit L06 of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System. The goal is to remove certain parcels of land from this unit if they are designated for purposes other than conservation under local zoning ordinances. These changes are limited to areas within the town of North Topsail Beach.
