Amends proposed GS 113A-115.1(g) to prohibit the Coastal Resources Commission (Commission) from issuing more than three permits for terminal groin construction (was, only one terminal groin may be placed on each ocean shoreline immediately adjacent to an inlet for a maximum of two per inlet), and requires that the following conditions are met: (1) no more than two permits may be issued where public funds will be used and (2) no permit may be issued where funds are generated from special obligation bonds, nonvoted general obligation bonds, or certain financing contracts.
