- Gives the Los Angeles Harbor Department sole authority to review and issue the coastal development permit for this specific project on behalf of all other jurisdictions that would normally review it.
- Creates a state-mandated local program by adding new duties to the Los Angeles Harbor District and Department regarding permit reviews for this project.
- Requires any additional projects installing infrastructure or equipment at Port of Los Angeles terminals, which are not exempt from permits, to get separate coastal development permits that match the Port Master Plan.
