Summary

The bill makes any land‑use restriction that blocks a grocery store or supermarket void and unenforceable, unless the seller meets a set of strict conditions for moving the store nearby. It applies to new covenants after the law takes effect and does not affect older agreements. The goal is to keep grocery access available while allowing limited, timely relocations.
