The bill amends the Land Division Act of 1967 by modifying Section 108, which outlines the requirements for dividing land parcels. It specifies that a division is not subject to platting requirements if it results in no more than 10 parcels of 1.5 acres each, provided that the remaining parcels are 3 acres or larger. The bill increases the maximum number of parcels allowed from 4 to 10 for the first 10 acres of a parent parcel and allows for additional parcels based on the size of the parent tract. It also introduces provisions for creating additional parcels under certain conditions, such as the establishment of new roads or if one of the resulting parcels is at least 60% of the parent parcel's area.

Furthermore, the bill allows for a parcel or tract to be partitioned or split into a greater number of parcels than typically authorized if it complies with local ordinances. It clarifies that parcels created by exempt splits are not considered new parent parcels and can be further partitioned without adhering to platting requirements, provided certain conditions are met. The amendments aim to streamline the land division process while maintaining local governance over land use. The act will take effect one year after being enacted into law.
