Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 2139 involve both adding and removing specific language about how development rights are managed between sending and receiving properties. The amendments clarify the requirements for transferring development rights, ensuring that the rights attached to receiving properties are at least equal to those being severed from sending properties. This matters because it helps maintain a balance in development potential between areas, which can support local planning efforts and sustainable growth.
