This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 103 include the removal of references to the act being called the "Family Heritage Open Space Protection Act" and clarify the regulatory aspects regarding nonbuilding lots. Specifically, the bill allows for the creation of two nonbuilding lots without needing to go through a subdivision and development plan, as long as they obtain a waiver form from the Department of Environmental Protection. These changes streamline the process for creating nonbuilding lots and aim to promote land use flexibility, potentially encouraging the preservation of open spaces within communities.
