Increase allowable amount of farmland preservation grants to nonprofit organizations.

Summary

The legislation changes state grant rules so nonprofit groups can receive up to 80% of the cost when purchasing development easements or fee‑simple titles on farmland, matching the rate already given to local governments. It aims to make it easier for nonprofits to preserve farmland by sharing more of the purchase cost. The bill would take effect immediately once enacted.
