SB 126 ends ongoing court cases about whether the public can recreate on non-meandered waters (bodies of water that don't naturally flow) that sit on private property. The bill closes litigation over this issue by having the Legislature declare that it has already balanced public recreational rights with private property owners' rights through earlier legislation, preventing further legal battles on the matter.
