The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5064, seeks to amend current statutes to allow municipalities or nonprofit organizations the option to purchase restricted agricultural lands at their agricultural value. This change aims to promote the retention of agricultural lands for agricultural purposes, ensuring that these lands remain dedicated to farming and related activities.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes a perpetual option for municipalities or nonprofit organizations to acquire these lands, thereby supporting the preservation of agricultural resources. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill.
