§ 6701 Grant Rights Protection
This law says that if the government changes any grant of tide or underwater land, it can't mess up the rights that people already have from earlier leases or contracts.
A fishing company signed a lease to use a piece of submerged land for its boats last year. This year the state decides to cancel all new leases for that area.
Even though the state cancels new leases, the fishing company's old lease stays valid because the law protects rights that were created before the change.
