Release of Conservation Easements

Summary

The bill lets a water management district cancel a conservation easement on parcels under 15 acres that are mostly covered by impervious surfaces, provided the owner secures mitigation credits and the land lacks historic value. Once released, the property is taxed at its fair market value and can be developed according to local zoning, with the owner responsible for stormwater and other local requirements. The measure failed in committee and did not become law.
