Bill Summary
Removal of clutter; cutting of grass; agricultural use exemption; Planning District 19. Exempts localities located in Planning District 19 from provisions that exclude agricultural land from requirements relating to the removal of clutter and cutting of grass when such land is one acre or less and located in an area that is used for a residential purpose. This bill is identical to SB 742.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing laws regarding the removal of clutter and the cutting of grass on private property, specifically impacting localities within Planning District 19. It exempts land zoned for agricultural use from these requirements, even if the property is one acre or less and used for residential purposes, provided it is located in Planning District 19. This means that in these specific areas, agricultural land will not be subject to local ordinances that mandate the removal of clutter or the cutting of grass, unless the property is a small residential lot. The bill also makes a similar exemption for land in Planning District 6 and Planning District 22, while removing an exemption for Planning District 22.
