Bill > H7072

This bill expands the definitions of "farm," "agricultural land," and "farmer" to better encompass modern agricultural practices and land use. Specifically, "agricultural land" will now include land currently being used for agricultural operations or land that is suitable for such operations, and a "farmer" will be defined as any individual who owns or is the primary operator of a farm and actively engages in agricultural operations. The bill also clarifies that "farm" refers to any parcel of land, along with its associated buildings and equipment, used for agricultural operations. These changes are intended to provide a broader and more inclusive definition of agricultural activities and those who conduct them, and the bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
