Limiting and Renegotiating Long-Term Land Conservation Agreements
This act changes how land conservation agreements with the government are handled. Landowners with very long-term agreements or those from before 1977 can now renegotiate terms, shorten them to 50 years, or buy back their rights. This aims to provide more flexibility and control over their property.
Key points
New land conservation agreements cannot last longer than 50 years.
Landowners with agreements over 50 years old or from before 1977 can request renegotiation.
Renegotiation options include shortening the agreement to 50 years, receiving payment for the easement's value, or buying back the easement.
Landowners will be notified of their right to request renegotiation.
