§ 15.518. Transitional provisions—Districts.

(a)

Districts Required under Previous State Law. Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (the Foundation) law effective prior to July 1, 2007 required parcels to be included in agricultural land preservation districts before the landowner could offer an easement to the State.

(b)

Status of Districts in Which the State Has Purchased an Easement. Pursuant to Chapter 650 of the 2007 Laws of Maryland, any district in which an easement has been transferred to the Foundation remains in force and may not be terminated.

(c)

Status of Districts in Which the State Does Not Hold an Easement. Pursuant to Chapter 650 of the 2007 Laws of Maryland, districts in which the State does not hold an easement were terminated as of July 1, 2012.
