Senate amendment to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.

Removes all peninsulas extending into the waters of Lake Norman from the definition of shoreline area in GS 77-89.1 (definitions pertaining to the Lake Norman Marine Commission [Commission]).  Now prevents more than 35% of the commissioners from (1) having an ownership interest in any property adjoining the shoreline area of Lake Norman; (2) having an ownership interest in or be employed by any business that generates income from Lake Norman or that has an ownership interest in property that adjoins the lake’s shoreline area under GS 77-89.3. Requires each commissioner to complete a written disclosure statement identifying any of the described conflicts of interest by January 31 each year. Provides for publication of those statements on the Commission’s public website by January 31 annually. Makes organizational changes. Amends GS 77-89.5(b) (organization and meetings) by making all Commission records public, no longer limiting it to those relating to the development, collection, and use of fees. Specifies that the Commission’s regulations under GS 77-89.8 cannot conflict with the exercise of any authority granted under any permit or license issued by any State or federal agency, in addition to State or federal law. Designates authority under GS 77-89.10 (enforcement) to assist a magistrate with primary responsibility for enforcement of the Commission’s regulations as described to each chief district magistrate of a district court district that includes one or more of the four counties (was, the four counties were authorized to assign the described magistrate). Makes a clarifying change to GS 77-89.9 (fees). Specifies that if there is a surplus of fee collections or funding for a given calendar, it should be applied to program-specific expenses for the next calendar year.
