AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- FARMLAND PRESERVATION ACT

Summary

The bill stops cities, towns and other public entities from assessing water‑utility extension fees or connection fees on farms that existed on July 1, 2026 and have road frontage. Sewer fees can only be charged if the farmer requests the extension, and any tie‑in costs are limited to normal tie‑in charges. The protections end if the land is sold or developed for non‑agricultural use within the specified time frames.
