BILL NUMBER:S6360 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to agricultural districts PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To lower the threshold for creation of an Agricultural District from 500 acres to 250 acres. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Amends subdivision 1 of Section 303 of the Agriculture and Markets Law to lower the threshold for creation of an Agricultural District from 500 acres to 250 acres. JUSTIFICATION: The Constitution of the State of New York directs the legislature to protect agricultural lands which are an economic and environmental resource of major importance. In the early 1970s, the legislature passed the Agricultural Districts Law to provide a locally-initiated mechanism for the protection and enhancement of New York's agricultural lands. The Agricultural Districts Law authorizes the creation of local Districts to encourage and protect farming by assessing farmland based on its agricultural value rather than market value. In addition, the Law provides protection against overly restrictive local laws, government funded acquisition or construction projects, and private nuisance suits involving agricultural practices in the districts.
