Town of North Topsail Beach Coastal Barrier Resources System Map Amendment Act of 2025

This bill would modify the federal Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) map as it applies to the Town of North Topsail Beach in North Carolina. The CBRS is a federal program that restricts federal funding and insurance for development in environmentally sensitive coastal areas. By amending the map for this specific town, the bill could potentially change which coastal areas are subject to these restrictions, thereby affecting development eligibility and federal support availability in that region.

If enacted, this bill could impact local development patterns, property values, and insurance availability for residents and businesses in North Topsail Beach. The practical effects would depend on the specific map changes proposed, which could either expand or reduce the areas subject to CBRS restrictions. The bill is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
