The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes related to real estate, specifically addressing unlawful actions in subdividing land. It introduces a ten-year timeframe within which it is unlawful for individuals or groups to act in concert to divide a parcel of land into six or more lots or to sell or lease such lots. The bill clarifies that certain actions, such as familial relationships, well share agreements, road maintenance agreements, and the use of the same licensed contractor in smaller counties, do not constitute unlawful acting in concert. This aims to provide clearer guidelines for land division and subdivision laws.
Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to existing language, including the requirement for applicants to acknowledge potential investigations by the county or state real estate department regarding unlawful land division. It also specifies that any contractual provisions limiting the right to participate in zoning changes or other official acts are contrary to public policy. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the enforcement of subdivision laws while providing exemptions for specific circumstances.
