SB 6573: Viability of agriculture

Maintaining and enhancing the viability of agriculture.

Summary

  • Wetlands converted to agricultural use prior to the effective date of the Federal Food Security Act of 1985 are not to be considered as wetlands under the Growth Management Act and the state Water Pollution Control Act. However, if the lands are proposed to be converted to a nonagricultural use, they are subject to a new delineation and the proposed change in use is subject to the provisions of each of these acts.
