An Act To Exclude Agricultural Leases From The Definition Of "Subdivision" Under The Planning And Land Use Regulation Laws

This bill amends Maine's land use laws to clarify that housing for migrant or seasonal farm workers on land used for farming is **not excluded** from the definition of "subdivision." Previously, agricultural leases (including farm worker housing) might have been exempt from subdivision regulations. The change means such housing must now comply with standard subdivision planning and land use requirements. This directly affects developers and landowners building housing for farm workers on agricultural land, requiring them to follow subdivision permitting processes.
