Amends the Rivers, Lakes, and Streams Act. Provides that no person, State agency, or unit of local government shall materially reduce, demolish, materially impair, or remove in whole or in part a structure located within 50 feet of the historic district commonly known as Graue Mill without approval of the Graue Mill Intergovernmental Oversight Board. Creates and provides for the membership of the Graue Mill Intergovernmental Oversight Board. Provides that no structure that was built, in whole or in part, using funds from this State shall be demolished without first securing advance written approval from the State agency supplying the funding. Provides that, if that agency no longer exists or the proper agency cannot be determined, then notice shall be given to the Governor, but only upon the approval of the State Representative and State Senator for the area where the structure is located. Provides that nothing in the new provisions shall prevent the party responsible for a structure from engaging in ordinary and customary maintenance and repair of the structure, including dredging around the structure, so long as the process does not materially impair or destabilize the structure. Effective immediately.
