Bill overview
This bill updates a section of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act regarding development rights agreements and easements on farmland. Specifically, it clarifies that an individual who is ‘essential to the farm’ can request that the state subordinate its interest in a development rights agreement or easement to a subsequent mortgage. The bill also ensures that development rights agreements have a minimum term of 10 years and a maximum of 90 years after June 5, 1996. Passage of this bill is contingent upon the enactment of several related Senate Bills.
