§ 6046. Approval of Governor and Legislature
(a) Upon approval of a Capability and Development or Interim Land Capability Plan by the
Board, it shall submit the plan to the Governor for approval. The Governor shall
approve the Plan, or disapprove the Plan or any portion of a Plan, within 30 days
of receipt. If the Governor fails to act, the plan shall be deemed approved by the
Governor. This section shall also apply to any amendment of a Plan.
(b) After approval by the Governor, plans pursuant to section 6042 of this title shall be submitted to the General Assembly when next in session for approval. A
Plan shall be considered adopted for the purposes of subdivision 6086(a)(9) of this title when adopted by the act of the General Assembly. No permit shall be issued or denied
by a District Commission or Environmental Board that is contrary to or inconsistent
with a local plan, capital program, or municipal bylaw governing land use, unless
it is shown and specifically found that the proposed use will have a substantial impact
or effect on surrounding towns, the region, or an overriding interest of the State
and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens and residents thereof requires
otherwise. (Added 1969, No. 250 (Adj. Sess.), § 23, eff. April 4, 1970; amended 1973, No. 85, § 5; 1983, No. 114 (Adj. Sess.), § 3.)
