The bill amends the Land Division Act of 1967, specifically section 108, to update the regulations surrounding the division of parent parcels or tracts of land. It introduces new provisions that allow for a greater number of parcels to be created under certain conditions. For instance, the bill specifies that for the first 10 acres of a parent parcel, up to 4 parcels can be created initially, increasing to 10 parcels after one year from the effective date of the amendment. Additionally, it allows for the creation of extra parcels based on the size of the parent tract and the establishment of new roads, as well as stipulating that parcels of 40 acres or more are not counted towards the total number of parcels permitted.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new subsection (6) that permits a parcel or tract to be split into a greater number of parcels than previously authorized if it complies with local ordinances. This change aims to provide municipalities and counties with more flexibility in land division while ensuring that the process adheres to local standards. The bill also clarifies that parcels created under the new provisions cannot be further partitioned without adhering to the platting requirements unless they meet specific criteria outlined in the bill.
