Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to the farmland protection program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To enable not-for-profit conservation organizations to work more directly with municipalities in terms of applying directly to the farmland protection program.
Justification
More and more, not-for-profit conservation organizations are working with towns and counties in assisting them with protecting our vital farmland. As part of that, this legislation would allow not-for-profits to apply for funding from the farmland protection program provided that the municipal and the county agricultural and farmland protection board have both endorsed the project. By doing this we will greatly be helping local governments to develop and complete funded projects that protect our farmlands. This legislation would in fact reduce the time required to complete farmland protection projects.
