The bill amends the Land Division Act of 1967 by updating Section 108 to clarify the regulations surrounding the division of parent parcels or tracts. It specifies that divisions are not subject to platting requirements and outlines the maximum number of parcels that can be created based on the size of the parent parcel. For the first 10 acres, the bill allows for 4 parcels initially, increasing to 10 parcels after one year from the effective date of the amendment. Additionally, it permits the creation of extra 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 introduces a new provision allowing for greater flexibility in partitioning or splitting parcels, provided that such actions comply with local ordinances. This change is aimed at facilitating land development while maintaining regulatory oversight. The amendment also clarifies that parcels created under specific conditions may not be further partitioned without adhering to the platting requirements, ensuring that the integrity of land division regulations is upheld.
