Summary

The law declares any covenant that restricts land from being used as a grocery store or supermarket void and unenforceable, unless the seller is moving an existing store within half a mile, keeping a similar size and product mix, opening the new store within a year, and limiting the covenant to 18 months. Covenants that were created before the law’s effective date are not covered. The measure targets property owners and developers to help keep grocery options available to communities.
