1998 SESSION
HB 563 Agricultural and forestal districts.
Introduced by: John J. Davies III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Agricultural and forestal districts. Modifies the procedures required for (i) district creation and expansion and (ii) local review of agency and public service corporation proposals to acquire interests in land within a district. Time periods assigned to various steps in the creation and expansion process are eliminated, but the overall period during which a locality must act on applications (six months) has not been changed. Agencies and public service corporations are currently required to notify the locality 30 days before acquiring interest in land within a district. Under the bill, the notice period is 90 days, notice must also be given to district landowners, and the notice to the locality must include detailed information about the proposal. For the second stage of the local review process, the vote required for the locality to allow the proposal to proceed is increased. This is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Agricultural and Forestal Districts.
