Revise term length of conservation easements
This bill modifies Montana's conservation easement laws by limiting their maximum duration to 40 years and preventing restrictions that would stop current agricultural activities on the land. It also prohibits conditions that would require land under easement to be transferred to federal control. The legislation affects public bodies and private organizations that hold conservation easements, ensuring agricultural producers can continue farming on their land and that easements cannot force land into federal administration. These changes update existing statutes to provide clearer time limits and protect ongoing agricultural use while maintaining conservation goals.
