Bill overview
This bill, the Landowner Easement Rights Act, limits the length of conservation easements held by the Department of the Interior to a maximum of 50 years. It also establishes a process for landowners with existing conservation easements (those over 50 years old or created before 1977 without a map) to renegotiate their terms or purchase back the easement. The bill aims to provide greater control and financial benefit to landowners subject to these long-standing conservation agreements. It specifically excludes easements involving Indian Tribes or utilities.
