Revises method for appraisals of farmland to be acquired for farmland preservation purposes.

AI Summary

This bill revises the method for appraising farmland to be acquired for farmland preservation purposes. It establishes a "Statewide Farmland Preservation Formula" that the State Agriculture Development Committee must use to determine the value of development easements or fee simple titles to farmland when using state funds for preservation. The formula considers factors such as the value of farmland and development easements in nearby areas, the importance of preserving agricultural lands, and other relevant factors like inflation and soil quality. The bill also allows the committee to adopt expedited regulations to establish the formula initially, before following the normal rulemaking process.
