SF 470: Allowing a landowner of agricultural land to obtain relief from a government body for its use of adjacent real property
Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to cases in which land is held by a government body (a state agency or political subdivision) and the government body’s use of such land may negatively affect adjoining agricultural land. The government body’s use of government-held land could involve interfering with the agricultural landowner’s access to the agricultural land or a diminution of the fair market value of the agricultural land. The agricultural landowner may commence a proceeding to obtain relief by filing a petition for redress with a county board of supervisors.
