HB 1540 "no town shall sell or grant to any nonprofit organization a conservation easement on land owned by the town"
Public Hearing: 1/24/12 2:15 PM Legislative Office Building Room 305
This bill will be heard by the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee.
HB1545 This bill specifies that conservation commissions do not have the power to convey interests in real property that they receive or acquire. This bill also limits conservation commission contracts to manage interests in real property to a term of 5 years. Public Hearing: 2/2/12 9:30 AM Legislative Office Building Room 301. This bill will be heard by the Municipal and County Government Committee.
HB1586 This isn't just about adding another public hearing in order for a municipality to acquire interests in conservation land. This bill makes it possible for 50 petitioners to delay, until town meeting, the decision to acquire conservation land. We all know that landowners often cannot or will not wait additional months to close on a project. Plus, there are a number of landowners who would simply not agree to a land conservation deal if their project had to endure the scrutiny of a town meeting vote. Public Hearing: 2/2/12 10:30 AM Legislative Office Building Room 301. This bill will be heard by the Municipal and County Government Committee.
HB1512 sought to remove a significant amount of conservation commission authority, including authority to acquire and manage land for conservation purposes --THIS BILL HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN BY THE SPONSOR- thanks to all who voiced your opinion!!!
HB1515 seeks to remove the ability for land use change tax dollars to be sent to the conservation fund, and makes sweeping changes to Current Use Law.
