The bill amends the Rhode Island Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Act by introducing new definitions and provisions related to land use and planning. It adds definitions for "overlay district," "watershed," and "watershed overlay protection district," which clarify the zoning designations and their implications for land use.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the issuance, authorization, or permitting of applications for comprehensive permits under the Rhode Island Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act in any watershed overlay protection district located in the town of Tiverton. This prohibition aims to protect water resources within these designated areas. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
