Prohibiting negative use restrictions on real property that have the effect of limiting consumer access to food and medicine.

Summary

The law declares any private covenant, deed restriction, lease or similar agreement that prohibits a grocery store or pharmacy from operating on a parcel of real estate to be against public policy, void, and illegal, unless it falls under narrow exceptions. It requires anyone entering such an agreement to notify the attorney general and the local jurisdiction within ten days, and gives the attorney general and local governments the right to enforce the rule in court. The purpose is to keep food and medicine readily available to consumers.
