Bill Summary
This bill proposes to amend the requirements for the posting of land against hunting and fishing to change the recording requirement from annually to once every five years. This bill also would require that a seller disclose that the property is posted at the time of transfer.
AI Summary
This bill proposes changes to the laws regarding how landowners can post their property to prohibit hunting, fishing, or trapping, and also introduces a new requirement for sellers of real estate. Specifically, it would extend the period for which a land posting is valid and recorded with the town clerk from one year to five years, meaning landowners would no longer need to re-record their posting annually, but rather every five years or after a change in ownership. Additionally, the bill mandates that when real estate is sold, the seller must inform the buyer if the property is posted against hunting or fishing, though failing to do so will not impact the buyer's ability to claim ownership of the property.
