Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
63 added · 64 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of Bill SB 23 includes changes that clarify how many parcels of land can be created when dividing a larger parent parcel. Specifically, it allows for a maximum of 10 parcels for the initial 10 acres, with additional parcels granted based on the size of the remaining land. These adjustments are significant because they provide clearer guidelines for land division, potentially making it easier for landowners to navigate the process and for local governments to manage land use more effectively.
