HB 1631: County conservation futures

Using revenues under the county conservation futures levy.

Summary

  • Allows a county to spend a maximum of 15 percent of a conservation futures levy fund for maintaining and operating property acquired with the fund.
  • Requires a county to adopt measures to increase the capacity of land to enable planned housing and employment growth when conservation futures land acquisitions cause a reduction in a county's capacity to accommodate such growth.
  • Requires a county legislative authority in counties with more than 100,000 residents to develop a process to distribute conservation futures levy funds throughout the county.
  • Allows certain counties with low population densities to reallocate unspent conservation futures funds provided such reallocation is approved by county voters and other conditions are met.
