AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, in consultation with the Commissioner of Agricultural Resources, to release a portion of a parcel of land in Berkley from an agricultural preservation restriction and right of first refusal held by the Commonwealth. The released parcel is approximately 1 acre and is shown as 12 Friend Street, Assessor Map 14, Lot 3. The bill also removes two other parcels that were erroneously included in the original restriction. As a condition of the release, an updated appraisal of the fair market value of the parcel must be obtained, and if the current fair market value exceeds the agricultural fair market value, the current owner must pay the difference to the Department of Agricultural Resources to acquire new agricultural preservation restrictions.
