What A 1122 does, verified January 12, 2026
The bill aims to protect agricultural land in certain localities by creating a moratorium on the annexation of agricultural land for industrial use. The moratorium applies to towns with a population of less than 55,000 and has not yet updated its agricultural and farmland protection plan. The moratorium period is limited to one year, allowing the town to develop a new plan before any industrial development can occur. The bill takes effect immediately, and its provisions will remain in place until the town has developed and implemented a new agricultural and farmland protection plan.
