MINOR
The bill was amended after committee review to reorganize the list of eligible conservation purposes and update the specific tax code section referenced. The primary change involves reordering the list of protected land types, moving 'scenic value' to the top and shifting other categories like wetlands and wildlife down the list, while also removing a clause about establishing a greenbelt as a standalone purpose. Additionally, the bill was updated to reference a different section of the tax law (145-bb instead of 1451-b), likely reflecting a legislative renumbering.
Scope change
The scope of eligible conservation purposes was modified by reordering the list of priorities and removing the specific mention of establishing a greenbelt as a distinct purpose.
DEFINITION

TECHNICAL
