| 9 | Section 7. The Legislature shall conduct an interim study |
| 10 | of the issues surrounding antiquated subdivisions and suggest |
| 11 | statutory and nonstatutory mechanisms and incentives to promote |
| 12 | the redevelopment of antiquated subdivisions in a manner |
| 13 | designed to meet current planning and environmental standards |
| 14 | and promote the marketability of such redesigned communities. |
| 15 | Any proposals must recognize and maintain the property rights of |
| 16 | all property owners in order to provide certainty to property |
| 17 | owners regarding the manner in which property rights will be |
| 18 | maintained while redevelopment is encouraged and promoted. For |
| 19 | the purposes of the study, "antiquated subdivision" is defined |
| 20 | as a residential subdivision of more than 500 lots, created |
| 21 | prior to 1980, in which little actual residential development |
| 22 | has occurred and in which the vast majority of the property is |
| 23 | vacant and not in productive use. |
| 24 | Section 8. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law. |

| 53 | they exist, and |
| 54 | WHEREAS, additional tools are needed to provide the |
| 55 | necessary incentives and mechanisms to promote the redevelopment |
| 56 | of such antiquated subdivisions into communities which meet both |
| 57 | modern standards for land planning and marketability, and |
| 58 | WHEREAS, any such incentives and mechanisms must recognize |
| 59 | and maintain existing property rights, NOW, THEREFORE, |
