Legislation to Limit Easement Time Frame

What is happening? H.R. 7021 (117th Congress) will limit the term of a conservation easement to a maximum of 50 years.

Why is this important? The goal is protecting property property rights by stopping permanent land grabs

How will this be important? Supporters appear to prefer their easements to be “transparent, even-handed, and temporary while adequately compensating landowners and preventing them from being effectively deprived of the full fee simple value of their property.”
