AI Summary

This bill allows 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 that is subject to an agricultural preservation restriction and right of first refusal held by the Commonwealth. The bill specifies the exact location and boundaries of the 1-acre parcel to be released.
