That sentence, in plain words

A coastal shoreline community means a city or county right next to the sea. It can also be next to a big river mouth. It can also be next to the Great Lakes.

What this is about

This term is new to the old law. Part 3 of this law uses it. The Foundation can put its home base in such a place.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
