The bill revises existing laws concerning the divisions of land that are exempt from subdivision review. It mandates that a governing body must review certain divisions and aggregations of land, and it introduces a requirement for applicants to submit an affidavit form provided by the Attorney General to confirm that their intentions are not to evade the legal requirements. The bill also increases the penalties for violations, specifying a civil penalty of $10,000 or 10% of the sales price for each division of land sold to a third party, whichever is greater.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement for applicants to notify adjoining property owners and allows for a public hearing. It clarifies definitions related to the division of land and establishes that the governing body must complete its examination of applications within 20 working days. The bill aims to ensure compliance with surveying requirements and zoning regulations while providing a framework for the governing body to assess land divisions effectively. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
